 Very informative August 16, 2008

This encyclopedia is quite fascinating!
It shares a good amount of information about a plethora of orchids.
Further, the book is nicely organized & easily comprehendable.
Although it is regarded for it's "beautiful photography", I would disagree. Majority of the photos are nice, but not wonderful.
Many of the photos may appear beautiful because orchids are absolutely gorgeous not exactly the photography skills & technique used to take the photos.
Also, I wish it had more photos.
Overall, I would recommend it for it's information & facts.

This is one of the Orchidbooks that anyone who loves orchids should have. Its filled with a lot off information of botanical orchids.
It's one of my favorites.
My Orchid Bible November 7, 2002

This book is truly my orchid Bible. There is some information about almost everything you want to know orchids. I find this book useful when trying to find the general characteristics of a genus or even to identify a plant by its flower. Many, many pictures, and they are all beautiful. They lack in the growing tips category, but make up with the fairly detailed species descriptions for the species they cover in the book. Hope this is helpful!
