This book contains many well documented tales of the one armed Roezl trapped on an active volcano. The fashion conscious Ruiz taking a silver chamber pot on his expedition to Peru. A English collector murdered by his native wife. A modest Lincolnshire lass paired with a bombastic and treacherous German taxonomist. Stories of the Orchid Nurseries of Linden, Loddiges and Low. Bull, Williams, Sander, Veitch and Booth a history of Masdevallias. The stories behind the names of the orchids we grow and love, and so much more about orchids. Neither a cultural guide nor an encyclopedia, this book is full of documented facts. With over 1,000 coloured illustrations, some never previously published, it is a joy to the eye. A wealth of biographical details of both plants and people, it will captivate both historians and orchid enthusiasts.
