It is very rarely that a book on growing orchids reaches enthusiastic beginners in a way that can sustain their interests, not to mention giving them every encouragement to seek out such natural beauties, take them home, and give them the nurturance that would ultimately provide untold satisfaction and delight. Here is just one such book that is, to put it simply, perfect for beginners who live in a tropical climate. Basic instructions, elements of knowledge and interesting bits of information are all delivered in easily digestible, bite-sized morsels. Attractive yet useful photos fill us with awe and simple diagrams fuel our desire to ‘go for it’. Is it really all that easy to start a promising collection, and expect lovely flowers in the near future? Sure! Would the many hours happily spent potting away in our gardens or apartment balconies relax our minds, spur us on to find out more about nature’s treasures, and give us an impetus to succeed? You bet! And don’t forget that we have the best conditions in the world for growing these lovely wonders – a natural hothouse with just the right humidity, sunlight and breeziness. So, let us begin. The captivating world of orchids is just waiting to be enjoyed.
