5.0 out of 5 stars If you grow orchid species, you must own this book., December 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Manual of Cultivated Orchid Species: 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
As complete a reference as you can own in one cover, this book has it all. Cultural medium requirements, temperature, light - everything you need to know for the most species coverage. Most of the color plates are high quality, some not so good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a tome, September 16, 2008
By 
Argonaut (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Manual of Cultivated Orchid Species: 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
A great book for the serious orchidist.As another review said, photographs are not always of the best quality, but are comprehensive in their coverage of some of of the more unusual species. A plethora of taxonomic information for those so inclined, and guidance on the growing environment for the species. If you are a looking for a glossier book on orchid species, with less technical information, and more colorful pictures, then I suggest Alec Pridgeon's also excellent book instead of(or in addition to) this one.
