'Here then is a beautifully illustrated guide for identifying South African geophytes, with an enumeration of various techniques for propagating them. Some of the species described here are seriously threatened in their natural habitats, so there is an urgent need for us to learn about their cultural requirements from experienced growers like Neil du Plessis and Graham Duncan. Conservation through cultivation is possible. Indeed, for many species it will be the only means of survival.' Dr John Rourke in his foreword.
