Rating:
Summary: First rate super buy!
Review: Having grown orchids for more than 20 years, this book is outstanding in it's treatment of the genus Dendrobium. There are lots of superb features which are helpful the novice and the scientist. Particularly useful are the tables denoting geographic distribution, sectional division of like-groups of Dendrobs, and individual color-plates with information on hundreds of plants.

Must have for any serious grower. Can be a great coffee table book as well. Why did I just by one for a gift?... James Roberts --- Roberts Orchids

Summary: Awesome!!!!
Review: I am an avid Dendrobium orchid grower.

Absolutely love this book, there are few orchids books around that go this indepth into any genera of orchid keeping. It's good to see a detailed book which give plenty of cultural information on each species. I particularly liked the descriptions of the natural growing environments, it helps me with their cultural requirements so I can grow them in my glass house.

This one is a most own book for any Dendrobium grower or any orchid show judge.

Summary: Excellent Resource for Dendrobium Growers
Review: This book covers every aspect of Dendrobium culture, from the plant origins, biology, conservation, cultivation and hybridization.

The chapter on cultivation goes into great detail about growing Dendrobiums from seed including flasking and caring for the seedlings.

Approximately 175 pages are then devoted to photos and detailed information on 413 species of Dendrobium.

The Dendrobium family is very large and hard to generalize, making this book a big help in locating information about your specific orchids.

Good color plate and description about plant origins and distribution. A must have book for Orchid lover.
