PREFACE
|
Orchids are found in almost all parts of the world, and constitute one of the biggest families of flowering plants.
Encyclopedic in its coverage, practical in approach, and full of detail, the book describes 150 of the principal genera, including their history, physiology and special horticultural requirements. The techniques of successful cultivation, both in the home and the greenhouse, are explained, with clear and helpful line drawings.
