I have read JAK’s trilogy attempt and have found the three novels to be variations of the same theme. I was looking forward to reading about Rafe Stonebraker, who seemed to be the most mysterious and sexy of the trio, but was disappointed with the same old, same old. Not to mention the fact that the characters in “Orchid” were strangely unsatisfying. They just didn’t inspire that magic feeling; with each other, or with me.

I loved this book. Rafe was really cool and Orchid was a great character, but is that it? Does the series end there? That would be a great dissapointment.

this book was a good read, but I found it not as good as Amaryllis,and Zinnia, still fun, but just not up to the other two.

As a real fan of JAK, I tend to buy her books no matter what. But as in all her latest books, I found once more the same recipe as in her previous ones. I don’t think I’ll waste my time anymore.

This book is very well written. It rivals Alex Pridgeon’s encyclopedia of orchids. It contains not only the old names but many of the new name changes. It is an excellent reference for beginner and experienced orchidists alike. A must in the library along with Marie Selby’s book on orchid genera and Alex Pridgeon’s encyclopedia of any serious orchidists. Thank you for this book

This a very broad encyclopedia of common species, less common species and rare species. It is better a s a library reference though it has not kept up with the changing array of taxonomic names. This is unfortunate. I also agree with another reviewer that if it is a species discussed in text then it should be illustrated. The photos are exquizite. the reasonable price of the text for the dazzling array of photos reflects foreign printing. I would not buy it if I was a novice. Matt CohenZen of Watering Your Garden

I can not tell you how delighted the ‘giftee’ was with this book. Well worth the pricy cost — WELL worth it.

I have been a collector and lover of orchids since 1994. This book is all that is necessary for orchid identification and care purposes. I have given this book as a gift to orchid hobbyist friends.

Beautiful book. Beautiful pictures. Tons of specific info about all the different types of orchids. It was a little pricey, but if you want a well designed book with plenty of information regarding all the species, this just about covers it. There were a few, I found, that were not included (unless the species has been renamed recently), but overall, you couldn’t ask for a nicer book.
