Bulb plants such as tulips, lilies, daffodils, and hyacinths are the beautiful workhorses of the outdoor garden, producing a wonderfully showy display every spring (usually just when you've given up on the idea of winter ever leaving), then disappearing tidily until the following year--no muss, no fuss. Of course, there are also summer- and fall-blooming bulbs, tuber plants such as dahlias, and tender exotic bulbs that prefer to winter in temperate indoor climes each year. Whatever your tastes and level of gardening savvy, Flowering Bulbs for Dummies reveals the secrets of choosing the right bulbs for your garden and planting them where they'll flower most flashily. It also offers tips on forcing bulbs, container growing, and selecting the most fragrant varieties to please the nose as well as the eye. Like all Dummies titles, this one doesn't skimp in the resource section--there are dozens of reliable bulb suppliers listed in the appendix. --Barrie Trinkle
