Good, Basic Information,

This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Orchids (Nature Guide Series) (Paperback)
This is a handy little book if you need a quick source of basic cultural information about a particular orchid. The book contains 250 color photos over 160 types of orchid species and hybrids. This makes it a valuable aid in identifying those mystery orchids that we all seem to come across.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Generally Quite Useful,
By Wayne Leigh (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simon & Schuster's Guide to Orchids (Nature Guide Series) (Paperback)
Its a useful little handbook for a quick reference on a wide range of orchids. I did note that for the dendrobium section, it omitted the 2 most popular dendrobiums, that of the 'dendrobium phalaenopsis' and the 'dendrobium biggibum', which are probably the parents of most of the dendrobium hybrids in the cut-flower business. Otherwise, really very good. Some of the terms used are a bit ambiguous, e.g. I'm not sure if Indo-Chinese peninsular refers to all of mainland Southeast Asia or to Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia. Another note, I wonder if Marsh Orchids should also have been included?
