Description
After a drab winter, tulips triumphantly emerge from the spring garden, a colourful 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 hardback book includes:
40+ full-colour 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.

Reviews / Votes
"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
"In 'A Little Book of Flowers,' a new series of single bloom titles, author Tara Austen Weaver weaves together basic botany and culture. Each posey-size volume reads like a very smart love letter to cultivating beauty. . . Charming illustrations by Emily Poole and numerous quotes tug at our horticultural heartstrings, while a serviceable glossary and resource section at the back of each book indulge our yearning to grow more flowers and deepen our knowledge of the natural world."
-Seattle Times, Pacific NW Magazine
