Orchids - Successful Gardening Indoors and Out: An Illustrated
Encyclopedia and Practical Gardening Guide
This book on orchids opens with 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. A
section on growing orchids indoors is included, whether in glass
tanks and baskets or on trees and stones, as well as growing
orchids outdoors. An orchid directory looks in detail at a wide
range of orchid species and hybrids, providing information on
their natural habitat, size, flowering time and growing requirements.

 Growing
Hardy Orchids
This is a book for adventurous gardeners with an appreciation
for temperate orchid species and native wildflowers. A surprising
number of terrestrial orchids are hardy, some able to withstand
temperatures down to minus 50[degrees]F or minus 45.5[degrees]C.
Though they have a reputation for being challenging to cultivate,
in truth, most hardy orchids are no more so than a rose. This
is great news for gardeners, who will enjoy filling their gardens
with their enchanting fragrances, vibrant colour displays, and
long-lived blooms. At the centre of the book is a catalogue
of 103 hardy and half-hardy orchids. In addition to detailing
the techniques of cultivation and propagation, the book covers
conservation and includes lists of suppliers and organizations
offering nursery-propagated plants - an especially critical
issue for species in danger of extinction. Growing
