Industry Reviews
The increasing popularity of orchid growing has created a demand for beginner's guides to orchid horticulture. Garden writer and lecturer Elvin McDonald's glossy, lavishly illustrated handbook includes general cultivation information and detailed descriptions of 100 orchids suitable for the home gardener. The most notable feature of this book is the photography of the profiled orchids, which depicts whole plants rather than just flowers. However, the proportions of some of the orchids were notably distorted by the photographer's lens. Also, the author confuses orchid species and hybrids (a significant number of the featured "hybrids" are actually species orchids). Recommended only as an optional supplement to far more authoritative beginner's handbooks, such as Judy White's Taylor's Guide to Orchids (Houghton, 1996).
