Märksõnad:
Another outstanding gardening book from Timber Press showcases some 300 "diminutive gems," from dainty mini-catts (Cattleyas) to the dramatic (up close anyway) Dracula venefica. Frowine, who has tended orchid collections at botanical gardens from Hawaii to Missouri, shares tips for choosing and cultivating them. He also presents profiles, with a welcome pronunciation key, of a sampling of these windowsill-suited munchkins. The volume lists orchids by size, ease of culture, light requirement, temperature preference, season of bloom, fragrance, and sources from Connecticut (where the author lives) to Hawaii.
