Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-14 00:00:00 Michael Schoen 2.5 I found a few helpful gems in this book, but the layout is packed with lists of hybrids for every type of orchid. These lists were not terribly helpful, and just seemed to take up space.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-22 00:00:00 Glenn Anderson I've avoided reading this book for a long time, only because of the name. I can't get behind anything with "for dummies" in the title. The other issue that kept me from this book is its b&w paperback nature--only very few full-color pictures in an insert. Although it seemed pretty pointless for the author & publisher to include any b&w pictures at all (they really are just filler--you can't make out details from most of them), on the positive and useful side, not having color pictures forced the author to describe orchid colors and scents and forms in ways that most other books don't, and I really liked that. There's also good information here for the intermediate grower in terms of lists of orchids to expand your collection with. In all, a great book!
