Orchids

from the Archives of the Royal Horticultural Society
by Mark Griffiths

This book is the compact edition of a very lavish but much more expensive volume featuring more than 300 watercolor paintings and drawings of prize-winning orchids from the Lindley Library of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).With text by one of the world's foremost orchid authorities accompanying the exquisite watercolor portraits of prize-winning orchids commissioned by the RHS every year since 1897, it represents the ultimate orchid pictorial history. What more can we say? The book is a beauty, the illustrations are works of art, and if the RHS gives a plant an Award of Merit, it's worth being immortalized on the printed page.
