Orchid: A Cultural History

Very entertaining and well researched.

outstanding

Excellent read! More history than biology, but so entertaining.

Seemed to be an earlier version than one advertised

Excellent seller; would use again. Far beyond just a picture book, this work goes deeply into the meaning of the orchid and its treatment in literature, film, and song; it's associations with the exotic, sophisticated, and mysterious. We gave this as a gift, but the lady's husband snatched it from her to read it first! A great addition to anyone's library.
