Personally Recommended Books

The Genus Pleione - Kew Monograph - Philip Cribb and Ian Butterfield. Philip Cribb has written a number of Orchid books and Ian is probably the UK's leading commercial grower and breeder of Pleiones. (sadly currently out of print) 

The Genus Cyclamen - Kew Monograph - Christopher Grey-Wilson (1988)

cover Cyclamen, a guide for gardeners, horticulturists and botanists - Christopher Grey-Wilson (2003). An excellent book, covering all species and many varieties, along with details of their cultivation. A must for Cyclamen lovers!

cover The Gardener's Guide to Growing Fritillaries - Kevin Pratt & Michael Jefferson-Brown A very useful guide that sets out the various groupings of Fritillaries with some wonderful photos! (see below)

Narcissus – A Guide to Wild Daffodils – John W Blanchard.
