Book Description:
An update of a popular primer that has introduced thousands of hobbyists to orchid growing.
From the Publisher:
Orchids are one of the largest plant families as well as the most prized. This beautifully illustrated volume by the Gainesbury Orchid Fellow at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, serves as an excellent introduction to the most important genera, species, and hybrids.
The author briefly traces the history of orchids from their first introductions through modern hybridizing, and presents culturation and propagation information for a wide variety of orchids. Almost half the book is devoted to an A-Z listing of recommended species and hybrids for various conditions.
This is the third of the Kew Gardening Guides to be published in the United States by Timber Press. The previous volumes, Pool and Waterside Gardening and Pelargoniums, have been warmly received for their superb illustrations and concise authoritative texts.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Die Welt der Orchideen ist wahnsinnig vielfältig , da diese Pflanzen in der Lage sind, scheinbar unbegrenzt in atemberaubende Gestalten und Farben zu mutieren. Daher rührt die andauernde Faszinationskraft dieser Blume, die Charles Darwin als Höhepunkt evolutionärer Anpassung betrachtete. Schon im Jahre 1839 haben englische Baumschulen 1600 verschiedene Arten von Orchideen angeboten. Heute kennt man 60.000 Orchideenarten und über 100.000 Hybridgewächse. Im vorliegenden Band begleiten zahlreiche wunderschöne Zeichnungen und Aquarelle einige einführende Texte zur Geschichte dieser einzigartigen Pflanzen.
