"This beautifully produced book will be inspiring to botanical
artists and all those who are captivated by the orchid." -Leisure
Painter Orchids have long held a place of esteem and fascination in
the horticultural world. In the 19th century, orchid collecting
reached new fanatical heights, with explorers dispatched to every
corner of the globe in search of new varieties that could be
auctioned at extravagant prices, and orchids are still one of the
most popular flowers to breed and buy to this day. These beautiful,
diverse flowers are one of the two largest families of flowering
plants, with over 30,000 species and over 181,500 hybrids and
cultivars. The RHS Orchid Committee have commissioned watercolours
of over 7,000 award-winning hybrids that demonstrate particular
value in their fabulous array of colours, patterns, sizes and
shapes. Through these paintings, stories of high stakes orchid
breeding and exhibiting are explored, with a cast of characters who
helped shape the horticultural world we know today, alongside the
dedicated artists who still support their endeavours.
