Features: Unlike many other books on Narcissus, this one does not describe the process of cultivating bulbils in open fields for three years to become commercial bulb scales. Instead, it focuses on what home Narcissus enthusiasts urgently need to know: how to select Narcissus bulb scales, as well as the knowledge of carving, care, and shaping. Especially in the section on Narcissus carving and shaping, the explanations are detailed and accompanied by photos and illustrations. The book introduces over thirty types of designs. It is worth mentioning that the author shares their explorations and insights from years of experimenting with shaping bulbils individually and combining them, engaging with readers. This book organically integrates the growth habits of Narcissus with the knowledge and appreciation of shaping. The content is easy to understand, and the methods are simple and easy to learn.
