Book Reviews of Dendrobium and Its Relatives
Book Review: Dendrobium and It's Relatives
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely one of the best books I have read on Dendrobiums (I've been growing orchids for 20 years). It is written in a clear, easy to understand manner in an "easy to read" style. Part 1 covers classification, distribution and origins, traditional uses, ecology, cultivation and artificial hybrids. Part 2 describes over 400 species each of which is shown in full colour and includes information on where the orchid is found in its natural environment and how to cultivate it out of that environment.
I believe this book will appeal to everyone who grows these fabulous plants whether they are new to the hobby or experienced growers.
Summary of Dendrobium and Its Relatives
Dendrobium is an enormous orchid genus of more than 1000 species native to south Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and Oceania. They are highly popular among orchid growers for their beauty and diversity. This study by three plant scientists who are also active orchid growers presents more than 400 of the species, all illustrated with color photographs. Almost all the horticulturally popular species are included, along with some lesser-known but spectacular species recently discovered in the highlands of New Guinea that are likely to become popular in the future.Gardening & Horticulture Books
