The Manual of Cultivated Orchid Species: 3rd Edition

Rating:
Summary: If you grow orchid species, you must own this book.
Review: As complete a reference as you can own in one cover, this book has it all. Cultural medium requirements, temperature, light - everything you need to know for the most species coverage. Most of the color plates are high quality, some not so good.

Rating:
Summary: Good reference and very useful for identifying the plants
Review: My favorite book beside The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids by Alec Pridgeon, I recommend it highly for anyone who loves orchid species.
