References for Beginners
 

I have four books on orchids, but as a beginner, recognize that I have a long way to go. Considering the four references that I already have listed below, what other references should I consider picking up for my library?

• Frownie, S. A. (2005). Orchids for Dummies.
• Kramer, J. (2006). 100 Orchids for Florida.
• Motes, M. (2008). Florida Orchid Growing: Month by Month.
• Hunt, P. F. (1979). The International Book of Orchids

Thanks,

I like, and have seen other members mention they do as well, Orthos Complete Guide To Orchids. Need to watch tho as there is also a much less informative orchid book with the Ortho name on it - Ortho All About Orchids. I also like Botanicas Orchids - there isn't info about growing in cultivation, but has info on 1200 species I think, including hardiness zones :)

WhiteRabbit,

Thanks - I'll put the Complete Guide and Botanicas on my list.

Cheers,

the Ortho book I think I got at HD or something - Botanicas I stumbled across while looking for something else on ebay ;) good bargain too!

Thanks,

I've got a "HD" about a half-mile from the house.

May I also add:
Cullina, William (2004) Understanding Orchids

I'm with Donald. A great book no matter what level you think you are.
