1. The pictures in this book about orchids are stunning. The text is informative and thorough. Every orchid lover will appreciate this book and proudly display it on the coffee table. I've seen a lot of books about orchids, and this has to rank among the best. Pick it up before it's too late!

1. This is the best book to have if you're really serious about identifying the orchids you see in Australia. It's much better than any of the others - more complete, better pictures and descriptions. It provides a good view of the current understanding of the taxonomy of country's orchids. The pictures are generally great, the written descriptions useful.
   
   Two quibbles - One, there are no keys to allow you to determine which of several closely related species you might have. Species or subspecies can be so similar that the pictures and the written descriptions don't allow you to distinguish among them. Two, range maps rather than place names (some of which are so small they don't make it into an Atlas) would be nice.
   
   Quibbles aside, it's a very useful book.

2 comments about Commercial Propagation of Orchids in Tissue Culture: Seed-Flasking Methods.

1. If I had laboratory experience/equipment, this book may have been useful. It's definitely for the pro. Gives all chemicals needed and the function of those chemicals. Timeline for harvesting seed pods for genus and species. All about starting from seed. No information on creating plantlets from an explant.



2. The book had a lot of good info, I just hope I can one day understand it all.
