Beginning with a history of the first introductions to Western horticulture more than 250 years ago and describing the difficult days of learning how to grow orchids, this book continues on with the principals of growing, propagating, and caring for orchids in the temperate regions. Discussions of the environmental conditions found where orchids grow in the wild help to give enthusiasts a clearer understanding of the cultural needs of the plants under cultivation. Some of the orchids described can be grown with success in a conservatory or on a windowsill, others need a greenhouse. The book describes over 500 species and hybrids. Lots of colour illustrations and delightful historical prints.

Orchids are one of the largest of all plant families with a remarkable diversity of forms. Their habitats range from the Tropics to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, from sea level to mountain snow-line, from hot, humid rain forests to deserts. There is an orchid that grows wherever you live. This book begins with a fascinating description of orchids and their distinctive characteristics and continues on to explain the essential requirements for their cultivation. Temperature is important, as is position in the garden, greenhouse or home. Special attention is given to the growing medium and repotting procedure. An authoritative guide to help the prospective orchid grower on the right track.
