Undergrounds: Cape Bulb Book

This book explores the charm of the Cape Bulb, a category of bulbous plants from South Africa with fascinating leaves, whether they are curled, twisted, or spiralling. Fujikawa Fumio, a grower and a leading authority on these plants, presents a collection of their strange leaf shapes, which he has spent years cultivating into the ideal form. The pages containing Fumio’s explanation and commentary are presented in the form of an interview that relates the full story behind his thinking and experimentation with these bizarre and wildly diverse plants. Although not a practical guide to unique plant cultivation, Fumio’s information touches on the basics behind it. Japanese language only.
