Regarding a book, the easiest book is the cheapest book by Ortho, 'All About Orchids'. This paperback book (thin) is endorsed by the American Orchid Society. You can probally find it under Amazon.com for a little over $10.00US Currency. When I first started working at a large, established orchid store, 16 years ago, I was instructed to read thes book every evening for a week and i would know all that I needed to know. NO LIE!!!!!!
Go to AOS.org.....or pick up my website,
