5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Orchids References Available, 19 Aug 1999

By A Customer

One of the most comprehensive references available. It could not be more reasonably priced. This is the first book I look into when I want to find a species.

By	Doctor John "Amazonian" (Sunny Sweden) - See all my reviews

If you are new to Orchids or have been around a while you will find this bood to be a wealth of information on the subject! Good, sound advice for the novice as well as the experienced grower! A wealth of pictures in color and it covers 1100 species!!! If you don't have a book on Orchids, get this one first. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
