Orchids come in all shapes, sizes and colours and these pictures are just a couple worth writing home about.
In a well illustrated book by Harold Koopowitz packed with more than 300 color photos and paintings the slipper orchids are given pride of place.

Orchids cover a wide range of 25,000 species and 100,000 cultivars and hybrids. So it may be sensible to specialise and that is what HK’s book sets out to do.

My lack of excellence when growing Orchids is nothing to write home about so I will save it for the experts.
