Great Book, But . . .
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I agree with the reviews below. The book is helpful, educational, thorough. It clearly conveys the authors' passion for orchids and I can see it being inspirational. The photos are magnificent. The only drawback is that if one just wants a guide on keeping an orchid alive and blooming, this book might be more sophiscticated than one wants. This may be because there are SO MANY types of orchids, that tips on care need to be very specific, but there must be a resource out there just for care of the hearty, common hybrid orchids one is most likely to find at florists and garden centers. That said, all I wanted was a simple book, and I am glad I got more.
Absolutely recommended.

This book is one of the best buy in its price range. It contains about the same information that you find in 40$ books and the quality of the colour pictures (there's is a zillion of them) is almost as good. I really can't understand why it scores so low in terms of selling rate. The beginner can use it as a starter. This book can be used by the intermediate orchid lover as well: it contains everything to get well established in this hobby. Highly recommended. An excellent alternative to this book is "the complete guide to orchid's" By Ortho books.
Excellent for the amateur

This book combines spectacular photographs, practical growing tips, interesting orchid history/folklore, and adequate descriptions of evergrowing number of varieties. I am relatively new to the art of orchid-raising, and I found this book inspirational.
