The title of this book is "The Little Bulbs: A Tale of Two Gardens" and it is about Elizabeth Lawrence and her friend Mr. Krippendorf who had a huge woodland garden in Ohio called Lob's Woods. A lovely, informative book that is delightful to read. Miss Lawrence also wrote a pamphlet for the Ohio Nature Conservancy that now administers Mr. Krippendorf's estate, titled "Lob's Woods." Another great book is "Flowers in the Winter garden" by M.M. Graff. Dicky Graff gardened in New York - it was either Westchester County or somewhere on Long Island. A large part of the book is devoted to bulbs. Dicky is very elderly, in poor health, and now lives in Brooklyn. One of the most opinionated people I have ever corresponded with, with very firm convictions and a keen eye for detail, gifted with getting the words that describe the bulbs together. Both of these books were seminal in my journey down the garden path. Though there have been revisions to the names of the bulbs I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending both of these books as pleasant and informative.
