The Most Practical and Modern Guide You Will Find For Orchid Care
Would you like to grow the most beautiful orchids? Well this guide will 'hold your hand' as you buy and care for your first orchid to producing your own hybrids.
Beautiful book. Beautiful pictures. Tons of specific info about all the different types of orchids. It was a little pricey, but if you want a well designed book with plenty of information regarding all the species, this just about covers it. There were a few, I found, that were not included (unless the species has been renamed recently), but overall, you couldn’t ask for a nicer book.

I have been a collector and lover of orchids since 1994. This book is all that is necessary for orchid identification and care purposes. I have given this book as a gift to orchid hobbyist friends.

I can not tell you how delighted the ‘giftee’ was with this book. Well worth the pricy cost — WELL worth it.

This a very broad encyclopedia of common species, less common species and rare species. It is better a s a library reference though it has not kept up with the changing array of taxonomic names. This is unfortunate. I also agree with another reviewer that if it is a species discussed in text then it should be illustrated. The photos are exquizite. the reasonable price of the text for the dazzling array of photos reflects foreign printing. I would not buy it if I was a novice. Matt CohenZen of Watering Your Garden

This book is very well written. It rivals Alex Pridgeon’s encyclopedia of orchids. It contains not only the old names but many of the new name changes. It is an excellent reference for beginner and experienced orchidists alike. A must in the library along with Marie Selby’s book on orchid genera and Alex Pridgeon’s encyclopedia of any serious orchidists. Thank you for this book
