Hi Zulhadi and welcome to the forum. I would also like to know the answer as I have quite a few plants and would like to know more.
Anyone?

The answer really depends on whether you are looking for a picture book of hybrids, taxonomy books or general cultural books. For a complete picture, you probably need several books. Most general orchid books pretty much cover cattleya culture.

Dr Carl Withner has written a couple of excellent Cattleya books I will find out the tittles and how to obtain them.

I had a feeling there would be several books instead of just one. I wonder if anyone is planning to write a book that covers everything........now that would be one big coffee table book I would think!!!!

Hi Zulhadi...  to OrchidBoard!
I agree with the idea that you'll need more than one book as a reference unless you are looking for something of particular interest in the Cattleya area. The people here will surely give you a number of choices 
We'd love to hear more from you...where are you located? Do you grow orchids already or are you just starting to catch the fever? 
We have an area for Introductions...please post a hello so we can show you what a wonderful OrchidBoard greeting is like!  |

I have the complete series of Withner books and very highly recommend them. I got them when a friend was selling out of orchids.
