The book is divided into two main sections. Part One traces the evolution of todays Vanda and Ascocenda hybrids  and examines the combinations of these with other genera. The first section also includes a discussion of the role of chromosomes and genes in the transmission of traits  and the flower quality standards used by orchid judges. Because the genus Ascocentrum has been the most frequent and popular partner in intergeneric combinations with vandas  this genus and the resulting hybrid genus Ascocenda are given separate and more extensive coverage. Part Two provides a detailed reference manual for plant selection  environmental requirements  and successful cultivation. Included in the book and of particular interest to readers not well versed in the peculiarities of orchid classification and nomenclature is \"A Guide to Orchid Classification and Nomenclature\" in Appendix A.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964739514421,"sku":"ByrdShop_0881923168","price":90.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780881923162.jpg?v=1770477602","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vandas-and-ascocendas-and-their-combinations-with-other-genera","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
