Orchids look so exotic that most people think they must be difficult to grow, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are, in fact, very straight-forward in their needs and can survive for many years. Combining stunning photography with essential information, Introducing Orchids opens up the fascinating world of orchids to the vast number of people who are captivated by their intriguing beauty, but may be nervous about trying to grow them. Looking at over 70 specially chosen orchids, the Rittershausens introduce the simple principles of orchid growing and capture the wondrous individuality of each one.
