Description
This is the second edition on miniature orchids by Ron Parsons and Mary E. Gerritsen.
While the first edition was highly regarded, this new four-volume set is truly a tour de force. It is unlikely that another series on miniature orchids of this caliber will ever be produced. A genuine labor of love, this edition features over 3,100 photographs, including more than 1,800 previously unpublished images and the first published images of a number of recently described species. Hundreds of in situ photographs showcase orchids in their native habitats.
The set provides detailed accounts of more than 500 species from 117 genera, along with images of an additional 500-plus miniature orchid species. Updated with the latest taxonomy and supported by an exhaustive list of orchid names and synonyms, this definitive work represents the most comprehensive reference on miniature orchid species published to date.
This limited edition is restricted to only 2,000 sets, all of which are signed. With its rarity and scope, this collection is certain to be of great interest to collectors and will only increase in value over time.
Please Note: These books are heavy, weighing approximately 30 pounds when boxed. Page size: 27 cm x 20.5 cm. Hardcover, sold only as a complete set of four volumes. Shipped in sturdy, double-boxed packaging directly from our Minnesota nursery. Shipping quotes are provided for foreign orders as well as for shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico.
