(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Orchids: Revised Edition (Hardcover)

Intended as an introduction to the wonderful world of orchids, thia book gives enough background to get someone interested in orchids without the use of intimidating technical jargon. As Orchids host at BellaOnline.com, I often recommend this book as a great starter for someone just starting out with orchids
