Customer Review: Flora's Orchids
I've been growing orchids for many years and during that time have purchased many books on the subject. "Flora's Orchids" is one of the better books. It is magnificently illustrated and informative (without being too technical). It discusses hybridisation, propagation, pests etc before starting on the main "A - Z" section. Where this book differs from most is that it also covers some of the hybrids of many genera (some well known and others may be less known). Each entry has "how to grow them" signs and at the back of the book is a Cultivation Table which I found useful as a quick reference when growing new species.

"Flora's Orchids" would be a useful book for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge on the kind of orchids they can grow, whether they are new to the hobby or a more experienced grower.
Customer Review: a LOT of information
This book truly contains a LOT of information. The pics are beautiful! The info is also for those of us who have serios orchitis and are past the beginner's inflamation stage… Highly recommended.
