As a total orchid newbie I looked everywhere and asked every orchid “expert” I could about care of these glorious little plants. After a lot of bad advice, I luckily came across this book one day using Google Books.
I purchased it through Amazon and it has proven itself to be invaluable. Logical and chock full of information, this lovely book has something for every orchid lover. My orchids are flourishing and that’s always a beautiful thing!
A must have!
