"In the kingdom of flowers, orchids are the undisputed glamour queens. Their elegance of form, vitality, and almost sinister exoticism give them the haunting beauty and endless fascination of a great femme fatale. This book will be a joy to orchid lovers everywhere. Its illustrations present a stunning panorama of the whole orchid family. The text is an engrossing bird's-eye view, written in crisp layman's language, of the structure and biological processes of orchids, the history of orchid cultivation, their geographical distribution, and the colorful lore that surrounds them."
Stored in non smoking, cat free home, this has no lingering odors other hand an old book smell.
