A Wonderful, Addictive & Beautiful Book !,
This review is from: Orchids Simplified: An Indoor Gardening Guide (Paperback)
I was born in Malaysia and grew up surrounded by orchids growing wild in our gardens. When we moved back to UK my mother always had exotic plants in the house but orchids never survived well. I recently moved into my new home and my fiance bought me 4 different species of beautiful Phalenopsis orchids. I knew that I needed a guide book to ensure I took care of them well and the few that I had were of no real use to a beginner until this one arrived! It is a fantastic book with easy and direct instructions on how to care for the different species of orchids. The photographs are beautiful and it is also written so wonderfully. This book is the bible for all orchid lovers and those wanting to start an orchid collection. Although, I am already discussing with my fiance about building my orchid greenhouse!

The book made me salivate to start an orchid collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Orchids Simplified: An Indoor Gardening Guide (Paperback)
My amatuer gardening career spans a period of 40 years. In all that time, my interests did not include orchids until about 3 months ago. I purchased one plant and decided I needed to find a book for novices. Orchids Simplified is a wonderful book for a beginner. I found the book well organized, highly detailed without being boring or overly technical. The author displayed his great knowledge, devotion to orchids and delightful sense of humor throughout the text. In my opinion with the suggestions of the author, I will make fewer mistakes (but definitely make mistakes) because of the information contained in the book. The photographs are beautiful and I appreciated a glossary of terms and definitions.

A must-have for orchid beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Orchids Simplified: An Indoor Gardening Guide (Paperback)
Well written book with good advice (mostly first-hand experience) and facts for orchid beginners. There is a description of how to measure light in 'foot-candles' using a camera! This is extremely practical and useful as most culture-sheets for orchids come with a description of light requirement with 'foot-candles' as a unit. This piece of information is sadly missing in most orchid guide books.
