More a species guide than a growing guide
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. |
