Book worth mentioning - Orchid Board

Hello All,
When I purchased my first orchid, I was told at the greenhouse that the best beginner book they recommend is called "Orchid Growing for Wimps" by Ellen Zachos. I bought it on my way home with my new plant. I have a few more books now, but I always go to that one first. It is very imformative, easy to understand, and has great illustrations.

This book covers most all the basics that any new orchid grower would love to know. The book is around $18.00 and I think it has been the most helpful book for me. It's worth a look-see!

Thanks Dorothy! You're welcome Sarah! Yes, of course, online shopping for books is much cheaper. I may need to get another, mine is wearing out!
