Product Description

Product Description

This is a book for adventurous gardeners with an appreciation for temperate orchid species and native wildflowers. A surprising number of terrestrial orchids are hardy, some able to withstand temperatures down to minus 50[degrees]F or minus 45.5[degrees]C. Though they have a reputation for being challenging to cultivate, in truth, most hardy orchids are no more so than a rose. This is great news for gardeners, who will enjoy filling their gardens with their enchanting fragrances, vibrant colour displays, and long-lived blooms. At the centre of the book is a catalogue of 103 hardy and half-hardy orchids. In addition to detailing the techniques of cultivation and propagation, the book covers conservation and includes lists of suppliers and organizations offering nursery-propagated plants - an especially critical issue for species in danger of extinction.


About the Author

John Tullock is a writer, photographer, orchid fanatic, and long-time conservationist. He is an active member of the Nature Conservancy, American Orchid Society, North American Plant Protection Council, and Tennessee Native Plant Society. He lives outside of Knoxville, Tennessee (USA).

3.0 out of 5 stars Growing hardy orchids., 12 Sep 2006
By S. Hamilton (belfast. n. ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not a very detailed book for growing hardy orchids
in Britain. More a book for American growers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Growing Hardy Orchids, 10 May 2009
By F. Green (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not a book for the a UK grower.Half the book is of interest to the American grower, the rest is really about John Tullock.
Just how much credence can be given to John Tullock's credentials in conservation of the American natives is questionable when he appears to believe that the native Epipactis gigantea is a European introduction.
The section on individual species is anoying with its shortage of any sizes for the plants.
There are better hardy orchid books available for the UK grower.
