I really enjoyed this book on orchids. I recently moved to a cooler climate, and was sad because I had to leave my potted orchid that I had received as a gift behind. I wasn't sure if I could grow an orchid where I live now, but this book provided a really helpful section on different types of popular orchids that thrive according to temperature. There was also a section on the most popular orchids and all of their visual characteristics and growing needs, so now I have an idea of what kind of orchid I am looking to purchase next. In case you would prefer to have a larger number of orchids, there is a really intricate section on repotting and dividing smaller plants, which I think would be good knowledge for someone fairly new to gardening. I really valued it for the level of information it had on different types of orchids and their specifications, which will help me a lot when I go to choose my new plant, and also the sections about shopping for orchids and growing them inside versus growing them outside.
