This book is dedicated to the beginner orchid grower.
Orchid growing is commonsense, with a bit of research thrown in. Very few orchids come from lush, tropical, exotic rainforests, and many grow where you least expect to find them.
Orchids are sometimes killed by kindness, and saved by neglect.
Australian indigenous orchids are some of the hardiest plants on this planet. They are succulent by nature and hardened by extreme conditions in which many grow. Most are not tropical, not lush, and certainly not fussy about their needs.
