I know!! I'm sick!!!!
I figured I need to have something while I watched the plants grow, which is slightly more entertaining than watching the grass grow.

Once you get through those books, I nominate you as OB's Masdie king! 
Seriously though, I think those books could be interesting to read. I hope there's lots of pics, they always make reading much more interesting.

Supposed to have over a hundred Masdie sketches in each book.
Hopefully I will know lots about Masdies when I get past them. Though I still won't be an expert Masdie grower. But thanks for the nomination, lol.

So right. I loved the book when I read it, but have never given it a second glance, lol.

I've been going with Amazon or eBay. Surprising what you can find, for a lot less. I got "Flora's Orchids," over $60 in Barnes & Noble, for ten bucks on eBay. Also got the Emily Siegerist Bulbophyllum book for $15 on Amazon, brand new. |
