Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many lovers of flowers, orchids have a particular allure. Popular among gardeners, florists and nature lovers, orchids come in a huge array of shapes, sizes, and colours, and have some of the most intriguing names of any flower species — Flying Duck, Beard, Fire and Boat-lip Orchids, Doubletails, Fairy Bells, Parson’s Bands and Greenhoods. Some spend their whole lives underground while others grow high in trees. And they are the tricksters of the flower world, many mimicking the forms and smells of female insects and spiders to sexually deceive their male counterparts into pollinating the flower. The Allure of Orchids features an essay by orchid expert Mark Clements, accompanied by a portfolio of illustrations, both historical and modern, of this alluring species. In it you will find works by around 25 artists, including the extraordinarily detailed lithographs of early botanical illustrator Ferdinand Bauer, Ellis Rowan’s beautiful paintings, the delicate watercolours of Margaret Cochrane Scott, and many more.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK A modern classic of personal journalism, The Orchid Thief is Susan Orlean’s wickedly funny, elegant, and captivating tale of an amazing obsession. Determined to clone an endangered flower—the rare ghost orchid Polyrrhiza lindenii—a deeply eccentric and oddly attractive man named John Laroche leads Orlean on an unforgettable tour of America’s strange flower-selling subculture, through Florida’s swamps and beyond, along with the Seminoles who help him and the forces of justice who fight him. In the end, Orlean—and the reader—will have more respect for underdog determination and a powerful new definition of passion. In this new edition, coming fifteen years after its initial publication and twenty years after she first met the “orchid thief,” Orlean revisits this unforgettable world, and the route by which it was brought to the screen in the film Adaptation, in a new retrospective essay.

Book excerpt: "This volume offers the serious orchidist not only a guide to species identification, but also a many-faceted source of information on the Dendrobiinae, including a guide to taxonomy, a historical review, a summary of relevant literature and a stimulus for new investigation. Dr Wood's comprehensive account is the result of 25 years' research. This is a combined approach, bring together morphology, physiology, taxonomy, biogeography, plate tectonics, ecology, and evolution. Following recent molecular studies, he divides the genera intwo two major clades, one tracing to India and the other to Australia, and follows their distribution from Asia and Australia to Guam and Tahiti. He discusses the species inhabitating each geographical area and lists them by sections. This work updates the taxonomic system of sections originated by Rudolph Schlecteer and supported by recent DNA results."--NHBS Environment Bookstore.

Book excerpt: European knowledge of Australia's orchids began with the voyage of the Endeavour in 1770. On this voyage the botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander collected specimens of three (possibly four) tropical orchids starting almost 250 years of discoveries. This book looks at the collectors who are a varied lot including professional botanists, amateur naturalists and commercial collectors from overseas nurseries. The difficulties they encountered including ship wreck and attacks by Aborigines are explored and the triumphs and disappointments described. The first to discover each of the 267 orchids of Tropical Australia is listed along with the date and locality. The orchids themselves are also a varied group. Some are New Guinea species spilling over into north Australia, others are endemic to the Australian tropics and another group have a wide distribution in the more temperate parts of Australia. Some are spectacular like the Cooktown Orchid, some not so, but all are interesting to orchid fanciers. Illustrations are provided of many of the collectors and of some of the more interesting plants.
