This book is very useful for a beginner house plant gardener who loves orchids. Has enough information for me to get started and not be fearful. Have looked up and found all answers to all questions confronting me at this stage.
Ifyou are looking for a comprehensive beginner’s guide to orchids at a reasonable price this is it. The book is well organized, easy to understand, and decently illustrated. Photos and quality may not be of the best quality, but you can find those in one of the many other pictorial guides to orchids available. If you want to get growing, this book is a great start.
This is a truly excellent starter and it’s great for the medium level amatuer, too. There is a lot of information, yet it’s not succint. The quality of the pictures is not satisfactory, however, this is one of the very few books which show overall plants, as opposed to show macro of flowers only. This is not a minor point: when I placed my first order online, I decided I was not going to buy dendrobium, because I don’t like the plant. While this reflect my personal taste, knowng how the overall plants look like was a major plus. Moreover this book teaches how to measure the light intensity by simply using the lightmeter of your TTL camera. To me this information alone is worth the price of admission.
I found this book a little too general..and actually did not answer my pending questions about the cattleyas…still some valued info of a general nature about other varieties warrants by keeping it.It is good for identifying species and family.
