Book Description

How exquisite is exquisite?

Photographer Christopher Baker and Willem Lemmers, one of the world's foremost tulip experts, set out to find the answer. The result is Tulipa, where, in 350 stunning full-color plates, perfection in nature meets perfection in art. Each specimen was chosen for its importance as a superb example of the flower's form and characteristics, and each photograph, taken at the peak of the flower's beauty, becomes a stunning portrait. The "story" behind five hundred tulips is told as well, from a tulip's parentage to the history of its cultivation and discovery.

About the Author Christopher Baker's photographs have appeared in Martha Stewart Living, House & Garden, Garden Design, World of Interiors, and Town & Country, as well as in magazines and ad campaigns around the world. Among his many books are The Glory of Roses, The Gardens of Paris, Chateau Cuisine, and the French Vineyard Table. Before turning to photography full time, Mr. Baker studied to become a botanist. He lives in New York with his wife and two children.

Willem Lemmers is a member and former chairman of the Tulip and Nomenclature Committees of the Royal General Bulb Growers Association. He is also a member of Tulip Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society in London.
