"There is a bulb in flower every day of the year, and no other group of plants is so versatile or easy to cultivate. Over 1,000 bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes from all over the world are included in this book, shown in bloom in superb full-color photographs. The text and illustrations are arranged in flowering order to guide gardeners on how to choose size and color, how to plant and grow bulbs, and how to select soil conditions and flowering times."--
