A very good all round, informative book with good illustrations. The text is clearly laid out, and the format of the book is intuative. It deals briefly with the general care of growing orchids at home and the type of problems encountered in keeping them healthy. The main section of the book is an identification of the various common types of orchid available for the home grower. There is a small but useful contact list of various different orchid growing associations and contacts. A book well worth having if you are just starting out, or wanting to identify the different types of orchids commonly grown.
