This publication is now called Orchids A Practical Handbook -A beautiful guide to growing orchids.
This is a excellent book and the best I have seen on the market which gives practical information plus a beautiful encyclopedia of photographs of various orchid families.
There are also numerous photos of the stages in cultivation and more inside tips than I have seen in other orchid books ( I have eight other books on orchid culture)
This item has : 5 / 5 stars.
This book gives you the basis to start from with orchids. It gives you the direction for the specific orchids which you can then take to the next level using specific orchid books. You can not go wrong purchasing this book as it will be at your finger tips everytime you do something with your orchids.

I looked through a variety of popular orchid books before purchasing this one. I found it to be the most comprehensive. It covers different growing environments (indoor, outdoor, under glass), care, cultivation, and diseases. The directory includes a description, complete with beautiful photos. Chapters are presented in a logical manner. My husband has extensive experience in growing a variety of flowers including azaleas and clivias. He found this book had many helpful and specific tips on orchid growing.

There is no “box set” as advertised and this book is a duplication of “Growing Orchids” by the same authors, just a different cover.
This item has : 1 / 5 stars.
