He has just a few months to complete his quest - no one has ever
done it before within one growing season - and it will require
ingenuity, stamina and a large dose of luck.As he battles the
vagaries of the British climate, feverishly chasing each emerging
bloom, Leif Bersweden takes the reader on a remarkable botanical
journey.This study of the 52 native species is a fantastic gateway
into the compendious world of orchids - one that will open your
eyes to the rare hidden delights to be found on our doorstep.Like
Two Owls at Eton and My Family and Other Animals, The Orchid Hunter
is a charming account of a precocious adolescent's obsession with
the natural world.Leif's enthusiasm for his quest is infectious, as
is the quiet conviction with which he keeps at it, showing how
plant hunting can be the ultimate mindful activity.
