Customer Reviews

An excellant general resource
I purchased numerous other "beginner" orchid books and this is by far the best one. Basic information and plenty of pictures to illustrate various situations. This has become the book I refer to first when I have a question, need advice or are interested in purchasing another orchid.

an orchid lover's foundation guide book
I have been an orchid addict for as long as I can remember. I started raising native orchids in the early 80's in my country of birth, the Philippines, using the trial-and-error method. My backyard venture was successful but it could have been so much better if a guide book, such as Ortho's Complete Guide to Orchids, had been easily available then. (There would have been less plant casualties.)

This is a must-have guide book for orchid lovers, from novice to intermediate levels, who WILL benefit from its general information on orchid selection, cultural requirement, diseases, etc. I have given copies of this book to some of my family and my friends who have contracted my "addiction" to orchids.

Beautiful Book
This book is great for beginners and those who don't have a green thumb. Growing orchids takes some patience, but with armed with knowledge beforehand, you too can grow these enchanting flowers!
