Product Description
Some of the most intriguing orchids are those classified as miniatures - plants that range from just an inch or two in height to a maximum of 12 inches. Steven Frowine profiles more than 300 of these gems, including representatives of some of the most popular genera. Entries include information on the plant's geographic or hybrid origin; details about the flowers; bloom season; mature size and habit; ease of culture; light and temperature requirements; recommended potting medium; history; and tips for success. The author's high-quality photographs make identification a snap and provide welcome help when you're selecting plants for your collection.

 Gift and she liked it a lot August 16, 2008
This was a gift for friend who also grows orchids, but prefers miniatures. She is thrilled with this book.
Concise Yet Thorough April 14, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a beautiful book that opened up the world of miniature orchids for me. The information provided on each species is concise yet more than thorough enough for my needs as a hobbyist. I love the vivid, full color pictures that the author generously uses to show the hundreds of miniature varieties. I also found many useful tips on cultivation and insect and disease control that are covered in easy to understand terms in the first couple of chapters. If you want to learn more about miniature orchids without having to wade through excessive botanical and scientific jargon, I think you will find this book to be very helpful.

This book covers a wide array of miniature orchids - over 300 - with beautiful, detailed illustrations and information - about the flowers, blooom season, planting requirements, etc. I especially like the planting tips - ease of culture, and light and temperature requirements.
I LOVE this wonderfully detailed book on orchid miniatures and have bought several copies to give as gifts to friends!

Miniature Orchids
Another wonderful book from the author of ORCHIDS FOR DUMMIES and FRAGRANT ORCHIDS. I loved the intelligent introduction on orchid culture and growing under lights.The book has excellent information on a wide variety of miniature marvels, each illustrated with gorgeous photographs. I love big, showy orchids, but this book made me order a dozen tiny gems to add to my collection. A great job from a wonderful author. Buy it!
