 Orchids November 2, 2008
Well written book on Orchids that makes a wonderful gift for the Orchid lover in your life. Transaction was A+++++.
Best orchid book September 14, 2008
This is my very favored book about orchids. Written smartly, containing most important information about all aspects of cultivating orchids at home.The photos show plant and flowers.
I bought this book for myself and my daughter and we both agree that this is the best orchid book we found.
Another Very Helpful Ortho Book!! August 8, 2008
I originally borrowed this book from the library and found so many helpful bits of info that I had to buy it for myself for future reference. It just seems that I can't go wrong if I buy Ortho books. I highly recommend it for Orchid lover beginners - there's just so much very needed and useful info when it comes to orchids.
 Fairly mediocre March 6, 2008

I'm not at all into the history of the man-made orchid hybrids and cultivars, for which the authors this book have a strong affinity. Expect frequent plugs for the AOS (American Orchid Society). This book has the same "pretty picture and overly general advice" formula that you can get in every other book for beginning orchid owners (or better yet, for free, on the web). I prefer Cullina's book in general, and something like Botanica's orchids as a reference for more species-specific care guidelines. In the end, I think its pretty unreasonable to make sweeping care recommendations about orchid genera, which often have 1,000+ species from a wide variety of habitats. But, I suppose this book is just as good as any other beginner guide- though others may be cheaper, and the web is cheaper (and better) still.
