PREFACE
|
Growing orchids is no longer a rich man's hobby : quite a small outlay and a little simple study now open the way to a lifetime of growing some of the most beautiful flowers in the botanical world.
The author has selected a number of species which are most suitable choices for the beginner, and describes their different botanical characteristics, the extraordinarily varied shapes of their flowers and leaves, and gives the basic facts about the conditions each needs.
