The Great Book of Orchids
With its thirty thousand species, its eight hundred terrestrial or epiphytic genera, its thousands of hybrids and its almost infinite range of colors, what other family of flowers has had as many arguments to seduce and fascinate us as that of orchids? Cult flower, mythological, medicinal, bewitching and collectible, the orchid is a plant with a great capacity for climatic adaptation, which is why it has spread throughout the world.
The author shows here the main species and varieties of orchids, tips for their maintenance (material, types of cultivation, pollination, phytosanitary interventions) and suggestions for carrying out floral compositions. The magnificent illustrations and didactic cards will make certain species, such as Phalaenopsis, Cattleya, Epidendrum or Vanda, no longer hold any secrets for you.
