Garden bulbs for the South

There are hundreds of choice bulbs that revel in southern warmth and humidity, and Scott Ogden profiles the best of them (old and new varieties). In a series of chapters that takes us through the gardening year, Ogden introduces the plants that help to give southern gardens their distinct regional flavor, many with charmingly descriptive names: rain lilies, oxblood lilies, jonquils, crinums, and scores of others. Weaving in bits of history and lore, Ogden details each plant's appearance and growing requirements
