James O'Brien traces the rise of orchid growing from botanical rarity to Edwardian passion, then shows how to raise these exotic blooms yourself. With eight colored plates and clear practical chapters, it opens the glasshouse to the ordinary gardener. The flower that once cost a fortune, brought within reach. Cultivate the most coveted blossoms in the world.

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.
