Gems of the Orchid World is the perfect companion to these collectible orchids, an inspiring tribute to their beauty and a practical guide to their care.

For those enthusiasts who truly like a challenge, there are even chapters on propagating, showing, and registering masdevallias. As singular as it is useful, this book will be welcomed as a bedside staple by longtime sufferers and those newly stricken with masdevallia fever.
