Description:
Anyone who has witnessed the blinding spring beauty of a tulip field in full bloom can understand the devotion that this colorful flower inspires. From its origins as a wildflower of central Asia, it's captured the hearts of gardeners and collectors for 500 years. Millions of bulbs are cultivated throughout Europe, Australia, the U.S., and Japan each year; there are now more than 3,000 named varieties in every shade of the rainbow except blue and black. Tulips shows off many of the more unusual types, and highlights the flower's fascinating history, which rivals that of most gemstones for tales of incredible fortunes made and lost. Some readers may be surprised to hear that all parts of the tulip are edible, and the back of the book includes several tips for adding color to fruit salads and desserts, as well as instructions for craft items such as tulip-stenciled place mats and a tulip-print lampshade. With a small package of bulbs, it would make an especially wonderful autumn gift for any plant lover.
