Description

Orchids are the largest family of plants in the world. With 30,000 known species, you could acquire a different orchid every day for eighty years and still not grow them all. Back in the realm of reality, readers of this beautiful book can quickly and easily find the orchids that are right for them--which ones will thrive on a windowsill, which prefer artificial lights, and which need a greenhouse; which are for beginners, which for experts. Once you select your orchid, this authoritative guide explains what to do to keep it alive and healthy. Featuring more than 200 color photographs, Understanding Orchids covers everything you need to know to grow orchids successfully, whatever your level of interest or experience.--From publisher description.
