5.0 out of 5 stars my mother loved this book, January 18, 2008
By Eric Flescher "Dr. Eric Flescher" (Olathe, KS (near Kansas City)) - See all my reviews
My mother really likes orchids and grows them. I wanted to get her an orchid book that had great photos, good recommendations and ideas, had different thing that she could look at. She loved it and raved about it!! There are a lot of orchid books but I guess I found a good one for her :)
