Review #3: It's about time





Review #1

Excellent for amaryllis lover

This is an excellent gift for someone who typically forces amaryllis indoors each winter, and especially for those who are then able to plant the amaryllis outside for further enjoyment.




Review #2

give me a break!!

This might have been a good magazine article although it's been done a 1000 times before. But, a book and at that price. Check out the used book prices. That's what this book is worth.




Review #3

It's about time

It's about time that a book comes out devoted solely to this most beautiful of flowering bulbs. Starr does an excellent job of photographing the flowers and other aspects/parts of the bulb. I have not seen in my travels such an extensive coverage of Amaryllis and I have searched far and wide. The pictures are all clear and some are very unique (i.e. a close up of a bud opening or flowers withering etc). The information she gives is comprehensive enough but the only thing I found missing, oddly enough, was the aspect of light. When the plant is growing indoors, how much light does it need after it flowers? Puzzling but otherwise good.
