"Delightful...Next time you are lucky enough to be someone's houseguest,
consider arriving with a bouquet of either one of the Little Book of
Flowers." --The New York Times
After a drab winter, tulips triumphantly emerge from the spring garden,
a colorful symbol of rebirth. These humble bulbs have been celebrated,
stolen, carried across oceans; at times they have been considered as
precious as rubies. Happily for us, these days they are affordable
luxuries--and easy to grow as well.
This charming little hardcover book includes:
- 40+ full-color botanical illustrations
- basic botany and history
- everything you need to know to grow gorgeous blooms in the garden
- tips for creating beautiful arrangements
- quotes, lore, and notable gardens and growers
Like a bouquet of tulips, this book is the perfect hostess gift or
Mother's Day present for gardeners and flower lovers. It's part of the
collectible mini gift book series Little Book of Natural Wonders.
