Customer Reviews

Nice title for beginners.

This book is aimed at the reader justing starting on their journey into the world of orchids. The early chapters cover the basics of buying and growing orchids. The last five chapters are especially helpful to the beginning grower as they give specific suggestions for the types of orchids that will do well in the garden, an alpine house and in cool, intermediate or warm greenhouses. I would recommend this book to someone that is wondering if they really want to take the plunge into the world of orchid growing. The information is presented in an easy to read style without presenting an overwhelming amount of technical language.
