Understanding Orchids

An Uncomplicated Guide to Growing the World's Most Exotic Plants
by William Cullina

William Cullina, nursery director of the New England Wildflower Society, has written an up-to-the-minute but uncomplicated guide to growing the world's most exotic plants. Very well illustrated, with pictures of even the unusual orchid varieties (how often do you see Dracula tubeana on the printed page?), Understanding Orchids contains some unique and very specific cultural information that other orchid tomes don't give you. If you want to know how many times a week to water the brassavola hybrid you just picked up at the Shop in the Garden, this is the book for you. And if you’re wondering what orchid to get started with or add to your collection, Cullina offers quick ways to identify the appropriate orchid for your home and your level of skill.
