Description
|
|
|
|
At first mistaken for parasitic plants because they grow wild on the branches of tropical trees, orchids were once considered nearly impossible to cultivate. But in 1818 William Cattley succeeded in flowering one of the first species of the genus that would bear his name, in his "stove" or heated greenhouse, in England. A.A. Chadwick has grown and studied the classic cattleyas for more than 60 years and in this lushly illustrated volume, he and his son Arthur E. Chadwick share their knowledge and expertise about growing the large-flowered cattleyas and their hybrids. Each species is described in detail, as are the growing requirements, from cultivation through diagnosing and treating problems.
