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.

Being a student orchid show judge I need to familiarise myself with as many species as possible and I need a quick and easy reference book for that purpose. The Botanica book is superb, it has just enough cultural information to get me by and helps me gain knowledge of a larger range of orchid species than any other book in my collection. I do wish there was a little more cultural information on each species but this is the best on the market so far. I take it to my orchid shows and I can't recommend it highly enough for both the novice and experience orchid keeper.

All the great thinkers of any era have started out upsetting a few people and I think between Mike Moore and Peter Singer they are probably upsetting their fair share. I guess what I am trying to say is, that… Read more
