Vandas: Their Botany History and Culture

About this book

This is a paperbound reprint of a 1997 authoritative work written for advanced horticulturists enamored with one of the most spectacular cultivated orchids and for the uninitiated seeking a new love. Motes draws on 35 years of orchid experience to offer a comprehensive treatment of vandas botany breeding care and cultivation--in greenhouses and also in tropical and subtropical gardens and shade houses. His initial chapters are on the genus history and developments in hybridization and he points out the untapped potential. The center section contains 113 lovely color plates.
