Tulipa : A Photographer's Botanical
by Christopher Baker (Photographer), et al
Inspired by seventeenth and eighteenth-century botanical engravings, photographer Christopher Baker set out to revisit the beauty and detail of these drawings in a different medium. With camera in tow, he spent eight months in the bulb fields of Holland, photographing the most outstanding cultivated and species tulips. Working with renowned bulb expert and grower Willem Lemmers, who hand-picked and approved every tulip photographed, Christopher Baker was able to capture each flower at the peak of its perfection. 

The result is an art book with a mission: Exquisite to look at, Tulipa, is also the ultimate authority on cultivated and species tulips. Mr. Lemmers, a third-generation bulb grower, tells the stories behind five hundred tulips: their parentage and origins, and the growers who bred them. Each tulip profile includes the tulip's registered name and synonyms, a description of its characteristics, and its suitability for the garden and for forcing. Mr. Lemmers also provides a definitive and up-to-date explanation of the most recent classification of tulips, as well as a look at the classification system's fascination four-hundred-year history.

Tulips
by Emelie Tolley, Chris Mead 
Anyone who has witnessed the blinding spring beauty of a tulip field in full bloom can understand the devotion that this colorful flower inspires. From its origins as a wildflower of central Asia, it's captured the hearts of gardeners and collectors for 500 years. Millions of bulbs are cultivated throughout Europe, Australia, the U.S., and Japan each year; there are now more than 3,000 named varieties in every shade of the rainbow except blue and black. Tulips shows off many of the more unusual types, and highlights the flower's fascinating history, which rivals that of most gemstones for tales of incredible fortunes made and lost. Some readers may be surprised to hear that all parts of the tulip are edible, and the back of the book includes several tips for adding color to fruit salads and desserts, as well as instructions for craft items such as tulip-stenciled place mats and a tulip-print lampshade. With a small package of bulbs, it would make an especially wonderful autumn gift for any plant lover. Amazon.com

The Tulip
by Anna Pavord
In an auction held in Holland in February 1637, 99 lots of tulip bulbs fetched a staggering 90,000 guilders, more than $3.5 million in today's money. Tulipomania had reached its height, and its story is told in just one of the fascinating sections of Anna Pavord's wonderful book on this most seductive of flowers. Amazon.com
