Susan et al.,
There are lots of books, some hard to find. I list some on my web pages,
such as:
http://shieldsgardens.com/amaryllids/… at the very
bottom of the page (scroll all the way down).
Each genus page in that section has a list of books at the bottom, mostly
the same but each genus tends to have one or two special books too.

If you are interested in growing South African bulbs that are mostly
from winter rainfall areas I highly recommend The Color Encyclopedia of
Cape Bulbs by John Manning, Peter Goldblatt, and Dee Snijman.
**I'm rather overwhelmed by the amount of information offered on the pbs list.
Are there any other bulb books listers would recommend?
I put The Color Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs on my Amazon.com wish list.
Now to win the lottery.
The only catalog I have on hand to use as reference is last year's 'Brent
and Becky's Bulbs', and I do an occasional google search.
I am also entranced by the C. chrysanthus 'Prins Claus' pictured today.
All the photos, all of them, have been mind boggling.
Too many plants to learn, too little time to grow them.
