There are a lot of orchid books but I guess I found a good one for her
My mother really likes orchids and grows them. I wanted to get her an orchid book that had great photos, good recommendations and ideas, had different thing that she could look at. She loved it and raved about it!!

I was really hoping for something that went into detailed potting care and lighting. The book also recommends some plants for the windowsill that, in my opinion, need more attention than your average windowsill grower gives. The pictures are nice but it just wasn’t the information I was hoping for.

This book was easy to read and had lots of beautiful orchid pictures. However, there the book is very lacking in stucture. It simply goes through different types of orchids and meanwhile gives you tips on watering, fertilizing, etc. as you go. I have read a few other orchid books and this just seems to be a conglomeration of the useful hints and tips I’ve found in those. For a much more useful book try Ortho’s All About Orchids.

What a great orchid book. I’m a beginner, but I’ll use it forever. Absolutely wonderful photos and references. I saved an orchid using instructions in this book. I recommend it, especially at this great price.
