Gardener's
Guide to Growing Orchids: A Complete Guide to Cultivation and Care
by Wilma
Rittershausen, Brian
Rittershausen
Book Description: Orchids are the movie stars of the flower
world, but like movie stars, they have a bad reputation. Too complicated.
Fussy. Weak. Orchids aren't difficult; they're just different. With more
than 25,000 naturally occurring species, plus 100,000 registered hybrids
from the last 150 years of breeding, orchids are by far the largest and
most varied family of flowers on the planet. The truth is, anyone can grow
an orchid. This book - the only orchid book to carry the authority of the
Royal Horticultural Society - reveals how and where cool-, intermediate-,
and hot-growing orchids can be cultivated at home. It includes information
on watering, light and shade, repotting, propagation, pollinating, flowering,
and controlling diseases and pests.
The orchid enthusiast will enjoy the romance and excitement of the history
of orchids, paired with the vivid and radiant colors of orchids on every
page. Everyone, from the beginning orchid grower to the expert to the obsessed
collector, will enjoy this stunning tribute to the world's most glamorous
flower.

The
Orchid Thief (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
by Susan Orlean [Fiction]
Orchidelirium is the name the Victorians gave to the flower
madness that is for botanical collectors the equivalent of gold fever.
Wealthy orchid fanatics of that era sent explorers (heavily armed, more
to protect themselves against other orchid seekers than against hostile
natives or wild animals) to unmapped territories in search of new varieties
of Cattleya and Paphiopedilum. As knowledge of the family
Orchidaceae grew to encompass the currently more than 60,000 species and
over 100,000 hybrids, orchidelirium might have been expected to go the
way of Dutch tulip mania. Yet, as journalist Susan Orlean found out, there
still exists a vein of orchid madness strong enough to inspire larceny
among collectors. --Barrie Trinkle - Amazon.com
