Produced in association with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this
collection of 40 orchids tells the many intriguing stories of this
beguiling plant. It is enhanced with botanical illustrations by the
great orchid artists, 40 of which have also been selected be
included as prints and presented in a handsome collector's box.
Captivating, beautiful, incredibly diverse and often elusive,
orchids can be found in nearly all environments, ranging from sea
level to an elevation of almost 5,000 metres. Victorian plant
hunters scoured the globe for new species to bring back for
botanical gardens and private collectors; 'orchidmania' among
gardeners was born and persists to this day. Enhanced with notes
and letters held in Kew's archives and illustrations by artists
such as John Day and Sarah Drake, this is an exceptionally
beautiful book on an extraordinary plant.
