Synopsis:

This authoritative guide has a round-the-world tour of the range of tropical and temperate habitats in which orchids are found, as well as an explanation of the main orchid types.

About the Author:

Wilma and Brian Rittershusen come from a family of orchid experts that have had an orchid nursery in Devon, England, since the 1920s. Their international reputation is reflected in a clientele as far flung as Australia and the United States. They lecture and write on orchids and have published a number of important books on the subject, including the New Plant Library: Orchids in association with Andrew Mikolajski. Wilma writes regularly for various orchid magazines while Brian is a regular judge at all the major orchid shows and consistently wins gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show.
