Description: First you will learn about the structure of orchids; how they are named; and how to pot, water, feed, ventilate, and protect them from weather and insects. You will find you can grow them inside and outside in Florida, and some even in the ground as part of the landscape. Then you will be introduced to 100 fabulous orchids that are well-suited to Florida, including Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, Epidendrums, Oncidiums, Phalaenopses, Vandas, and lesser known ones like Brassias, Brassavolas, Stanhopeas, Trichopilias, and others. And you’ll encounter eight beautiful miniatures. You’ll find answers to commonly asked questions, lists of suppliers, and a handy reference chart to plant size, flower color, bloom size, bloom time, and exposure.
