The Woodlands orchids, described and illustrated
Frederick Boyle and James Laird MacFarlane
Behind every rare orchid on an English windowsill lay a collector's dangerous journey into distant jungles. Frederick Boyle describes prized orchids and tells tales of the men who hunted them across fever-ridden forests. Part horticulture, part adventure, all obsession. Enter the extravagant, cutthroat world of Victorian orchid collecting and the flowers it prized.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
