stunning illustrations and text

I bought this book for a friend, and I'm tempted to by another for myself because it is GORGEOUS. Think Audubon, only orchids. If you wanted, you could easily buy this book (the price is so cheap for what you get) and tear it apart at the seem and frame the prints. They are THAT nice. And, the text is educational, but interesting. If you like orchids, get this book.
