Hi
A friend sent me a wonderful, early Christmas gift of 2 large, old orchid tomes she found. I was wondering if the information in them still applies. Has orchid culture evolved/changed alot in recent years?
The books are :
Home Orchid Growing (Third Ed.) .........by Rebecca Tyson Northern, and
The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids........... edited by Alec Pridgeon Foreword by Alasdair Morrison, Chair. of Orchid Comm, Royal Hort Society.
They are beautifully illustrated.

Bree, it is me being silly in an elf costume. Sorry the link doesn't work for you. Not sure why? Try pasting it in your browser window.
Jim, glad you liked it! I must have lost 5 lbs!! LOL.

Bree it may be a link that only works in the U.S....when I traveled internationally I would
sometimes get frustrated at not having access to some sites on the internet.
