About the Author:

Wilma and Brian Ritterhausen are the second generation to run their family orchid-growing business at Kingsteignton, Devon, UK. Their father's book Successful Orchid Culture was a classic, and Wilma and Brian have maintained the strong publishing tradition with two previous books on orchids. Brian's lectures for orchid societies and Wilma's articles for magazines have earned them a reputation as experts of great experience. Their nursery has won RHS Gold Medals for its displays at Chelsea Flower Show.
