The New Encyclopedia of Orchids: 1500 Species in Cultivation Hardcover – 15 July 2008

Timber press and the author have outdone themselves. Extremely informative, great layout and more pictures than you can shake a stick at!!This is a large book and a must have for anyone who loves tropical wild Orchids! I have an unsual and rare Orchid here and it is the first book I have purchased, and I have around 12, that contains this little known species!!This publication also contains many Orchids I have so far not seen in any of my other books, including the equally impressive Flora's Orchids by the same authour and publisher! I was also pleased to discover that it is totally new and not a re-hash of the authors earlier work!You will not be disappointed and I eagerly await any forthcoming title by a very good team that produced these works!

Husband very pleased If any body could have seen him jumping up and down holding the book it would have made a lovely picture.

Good for growers and as a coffee table book - the pictures are very veautiful!

I have now read the whole book twice. Am going to read it again as there is so much information in it, I have trouble taking it all in. Would have liked a bit more in depth on diseases and viruses and how to tackle them.

Just what I wanted to check on orchids

Great book!

Excellent book on this subject. Recomended

Anyone looking for a comprehensive book on orchids look no further
