Excellent
Gives all the information required for the first time grower of these wonderful plants. A good sensible buy

Simplifies what some books complicate
Great guide to orchids with great close up illustrations making it easy to identify your orchids. Practical advice on pests / problems etc. Useful hints on propagation and care.

Just perfect for starters
This book is very useful if you don't know much about orchids. Its written in a clear and simple way with lots of explanation and pictures. Perfect for getting started or keeping that orchid you recieved as a gift living and flowering again.

If you are an avid collector, looking for detail about a specific orchid, this is not the book for you!
