This informative and entertaining ebook explores several summer-blooming bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, or corms that will enhance your summer gardening pleasure. Some of these plants, like dahlias, gladiolus, and lilies, are popular garden inhabitants. In contrast, many others are relatively obscure or unrealized. We should become more aware of and enjoy these highly colorful and sometimes fragrant flowers. This publication describes several rare types to consider for your summer-to-fall blooming garden.
These plants have different energy storage structures that light up this year's beautiful flower displays by absorbing the previous summer's sunlight. They are, in essence, living solar light rechargeable batteries! They are also considered perennials-able to multiply, grow, and bloom each year. Unfortunately, many are not exceptionally hardy but will do well as outstanding container plantings and require indoor winter storage.
The following plants offer generous blooming and vivid floral colors and scents.. No matter where you plant the following bulbs, they will provide you with plenty of beautiful summer-to-fall flowers.
Not many garden centers offer these unacquainted bulbs. Still, you should investigate some outstanding bulb specialty business catalogs and websites that will likely offer them for sale.

G. Edwin Varner grew up on a farm, helping his father in the crop fields and assisting his mother in the flower and vegetable gardens. This experience and learning led him to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Botany.
He successfully owned and operated a fragrant flower mail-order nursery for twenty years. Unlike most mail-order nurseries publishing colorful but expensive pictorial catalogs, his frugal catalog extensively described the flowers he grew. He once said, "I write a thousand words worth a picture in my catalogs." Today, he has the same style of writing (thankfully with fewer words) through a variety of enjoyable and informative ebooks. This time, the ebooks include color photos of each flower.
He encourages you to cultivate something unique and beautiful in your gardens. His motto is "Read about it, see it, grow it and enjoy it!"
