5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best orchid book on the market!, December 23, 1999
By A Customer
Afraid to grow orchids? Fear no more, because this book explains everything we need to know, from how orchids grow in nature (mostly on sides of trees!) and what we have to do to make them happy on the windowsill.

judywhite is well-known in the orchid world for her wonderful way of explaining the mysteries behind how to grow them, and this book, which she also photographed (there are 300 gorgeous color photos depicting every genus in the encyclopedia section) is not only well-written, it is well-organized and covers everything from pest control to potting materials (the best resource on this subject in particular that I've ever come across) to light to getting the darned things to bloom again. The second half of the book is the encyclopedia section, describing not only species, but also man-made intergeneric hybrids, with a lot of information you can't find anywhere else in one place.

I definitely agree with others that if you only get one orchid book - whether you are just a beginner or truly advanced - this is *the* orchid book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This One Is a Must!!, November 11, 2000
I love this little book and use it all the time. It has so much information packed into it's compact format. The color photos are beautiful and show great detail. The basic orchid growing information is helpful without being too technical and the specifics about each orchid are very useful in deciding if that orchid you just have to have will really stand a chance in your own growing situation.

As Orchids host at BellaOnline.com, I highly recommend this book to all orchid lovers at any level of experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE orchid book to buy!, March 3, 2000
By A Customer
Beautiful color photos and detailed growing information...mineis heavily highlighted and dogeared as I use it as a constantreference. The BEST part is the dimensional description next to the photos telling ACTUAL PLANT AND FLOWER SIZE, as we all know how deceiving photos can be!
