This volume is invaluable for the photographs alone, so that you will be instantly enraptured by the possibilities present when you plant bulbs (daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, lilies) and their associates — corms (crocus, freesia, gladiolus), tubers (dahlias, peonies, tuberous begonias), and rhizomes (bearded iris, Agapanthus, ginger lily, Canna.) Bulb aficionado Jenny Carey gardens in Pennsylvania, where she cannot grow the cyclamen species (Cyclamen persicum) we see in our nurseries, except as an indoor plant. One is ivy leaf cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium), which has three-lobed leaves resembling ivy. You can order tubers of hardy cyclamen species and most other types of bulbs at dutchbulbs.com. Daffodils, like most bulb flowers, are also excellent candidates for vase arrangements.
