About the Book

A very popular primer that has served to introduce thousands of hobbyists to the pleasures of orchid growing. It includes useful sections on cultivation, propagation, and pests and diseases, and surveys the most popular genera, species, and hybrids for both greenhouse and windowsill growers.

Review :
"Orchids..".contains the most up-to-date information about the plants. -- Marty Figley "Michigan Observer and Eccentric" (01/25/2001) Covering all aspects of cultivating orchids, this book is suitable both for the beginner and the more committed orchid enthusiast. Enticing photographs and useful drawings add to the attraction of this book. -- Susan Knorr "Fairchild Tropical Garden" (04/23/2003) I know of no other introductory presentation on orchids by anyone of comparable authority. -- David L. Grove "Orchids" (11/29/2000) Simply put, if you love Orchids you should have this book. -- John E. Bryan "Gardening Newsletter" (11/30/2000) Stewart's writing flows evenly and the 'how to' sections are clear and understandable. Although the book is designed to interest orchid newcomers, there is much of relevance for experienced growers as well. -- William Louis Stern "Plant Science Bulletin" (03/26/2001) The author is eminently suited to guide the beginner because of her long experience with orchids . . . Excellent colored illustrations of orchid flowers and the instructive line drawings complement the text. -- William Louis Stern "Plant Science Bulletin" (03/17/2001) The book provides accurate snatches of information which entice the reader to delve deeper into the literature. -- Joyce Stewart "South African Journal of Botany" (12/02/2004) This book would be a fine addition for orchid enthusiasts and libraries serving horticulture and gardening clientele. -- Elaine Jurries "American Reference Books Annual" (04/24/2001) With the 'windowsill grower' in mind, author Joyce Stewart's accessible style helps introduce the newcomer to orchid culture with a spectrum of useful information. -- Lynette Walther "Palatka Daily News" (07/12/2003) Intended as an introduction to the wonderful world of orchids, the book gives enough background to get someone interested in orchids without the use of intimidating technical jargon...The photography is beautiful and inspiring...
