Among these are some very popular rock garden plants, such as \u003ci\u003eCalochortus, Erythronium\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFritillaria\u003c\/i\u003e, which have never had anything substantial written about them in book form. Others, including \u003ci\u003eCalydorea, Hypoxis\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMuilla\u003c\/i\u003e, are not as well known outside specialist collections. The characteristics that make bulbs so desirable in gardens include their great diversity of flowering time, color, size, and form; their ability to adapt to a wide range of environments; and their capacity to multiply and spread without a gardener's intervention. Amateur botanists and horticulturists, particularly those with an interest in alpine and rock gardens, and travelers planning a field trip to choice plant-viewing sites all over the continent, will be inspired by this firsthand account of native North American bulbs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is only available through print on demand.
