Book Reviews of Orchidelirium
Book Review: A disappointing book as a reference
Summary: 1 Stars
As an orchid grower, author and judge I had always wondered about this book but had never bought it as I was unsure of what it contained. Recently I saw a copy in a bookstore and I paged through it. How glad I am I never bought it. As a coffee table book it is acceptable to those who do not know better, certainly some of the images are pretty but most are mediocre. As a reference book it is absolutely useless. Why on earth would you go to all the trouble to photograph a flower and publish it in a book and merely name it eg 'Cattleya hybrid'? Orchid growers and plant people do not only want to see the pictures - THEY WANT TO KNOW THE PROPER NAME! Would it have been so difficult to include the name for those who are interested? The author/photographer would have had much better sales if this had been done as the majority of orchid growers would have been more interested. A disappointing book.
