4.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for Orchid lovers,
By David W DuBose (Denver Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Orchid Growing (Paperback)
"Orchid Growing" is an excellent manual for selection and cultivation of orchids for the beginner and advanced grower alike. An easy reading book that covers plant anatomy, care and feeding, propagation, and preferred habitats and climates. Excellent graphics and details on many varieties rounds out the functionality of this volume. A must have for the library of the window ledge grower.

3.0 out of 5 stars
More a species guide than a growing guide,
By Mindy Matter (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Orchid Growing (Paperback)
I was disappointed that so little of this book is actually about growing orchids. A large portion of the book is dedicated to a species guide. While the guide has stunning photos and detailed descriptions, only some of the flowers have cultivation information. The photos concentrate primarily on the flowers (they are gorgeous!) and do not give a clear view of foliage.The book does have a 22 page Culture and Care section, but it suffers from a lack of visuals. The dense and detailed text has only a few diagrams and no photos. A more experienced grower might find it useful, but this book is not a great investment for a beginner.
