Authors O. M. Hilliard & B.L. Burtt, hardcover, 150 pages. Published by Acorn Books 1 March 1991. Pre-owned in EXCELLENT condition. This book presents a long-awaited, comprehensive account of this attractive African genus of plants belonging to the Iris family. Although much prized in cultivation, they are not as well known as, for example, gladiolus or freesia, but deserve to be more widely grown for the beauty of their graceful sprays of pendulous flowers on thin, arching stalks which have given rise to their comman name.
