Book on South African Tender Bulbs

Can anyone recommend a good book on South African tender bulbs (or South African plants, in general). I found a few on Amazon, but they are out of print. I just purchased two fabulous Veltheimia and boweia bulbs and would like to purchase other SA bulbs, but want to read up first. Thanks to anyone who knows of a good book.

Peter Goldblatt is the author to look out for, the general Cape bulbs book is The Colour Encyclopedia of Cape Bulbs ISBN 0881925470

Thanks, Baa. Would you happen to have a list of tender SA bulbs that you plant indoors? I have a boweia, some clivias and a veltheimia. I would like to give a few others a go, but am lacking info and am having trouble finding it. Thanks!

Good bulbs to start off with are:

Ixia - http://images.google.com/images?q=ixia&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&sa=N&tab=wi

Sparaxis - http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/48748/index.html

Babiana stricta - http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/915/index.html

Some Ornithogalum - http://davesgarden.com/pf/b/Hyacinthaceae/Ornithogalum/

Rhodohypoxis - http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/58597/index.html

Lachenalia - http://davesgarden.com/pf/b/Hyacinthaceae/Lachenalia/

These are small enough for indoor pots but they will appreciate a time outside when it's dry and warm.

Here is a list of the book that I use for my resources.

'Wildflowers of the Fairest Cape Peter Goldblatt & John Manning

Richtersveld The Enchanted Wilderness Graham Williamson

Succulent Flora of Southern Africa Doreen Court I didn't notice any bulbs in this book.

Thank you, both. I will keep a look out for those books and thanks for the plant ideas. Liz
