Summary: One of the Best Orchids References Available
Review: One of the most comprehensive references available. It could not be more reasonably priced. This is the first book I look into when I want to find a species.

Summary: fantastic information and beautiful & accurate color photos
Review: Thanks Alec! Enjoyed seeing such a comprehensive (and affordable) book. Not a fluff book suitable only for the first-time orchid grower, or a coffee table book, useful only for the pictures. Definitely a keeper, and constant reference.Remember the first AOS days in the Cambridge MA house and Ken Peterson circa 1984? Yup, same Lee Sullivan. Hope all is well!

Summary: The Perfect Species Orchid Reference Book-Great Color Photos
Review: This book is indispensible to me as a Species orchid enthusiast. Every time I come across a species for sale that I am unfamiliar with, "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids" is the first place I look for a description and color photo! The beginning of the book has short, but informative sections on orchid care and cultivation. The majority of the book (and the main reason to have it), is the 'Orchids A-Z' section--a comprehensive list of Species with color photos, scientific + common names, geographical location of native habitats, descriptions of orchids + habitats and information on care. It is more than worth the price!

Summary: My Orchid Bible
Review: This book is truly my orchid Bible. There is some information about almost everything you want to know orchids. I find this book useful when trying to find the general characteristics of a genus or even to identify a plant by its flower. Many, many pictures, and they are all beautiful. They lack in the growing tips category, but make up with the fairly detailed species descriptions for the species they cover in the book. Hope this is helpful!
