Description
This is the second edition on miniature orchids by Ron Parsons and Mary E. Gerritsen.
The first edition was fantastic but this set of four volumes is a tour de force! I doubt that another series on miniature orchids as great as this will ever be produced again. Truly a labor of love by all parties involved with this printing. With over 3,100 photographs including images of more than 1800 previously unpublished images and the first images in print of a number of recently described species. Hundreds of in situ photographs of these plants in their native habitats are included.
There are detailed accounts of over 500 different species from 117 genera as well as images of a further 500 plus miniature orchid species. Updated with the latest taxonomy and featuring an exhaustive list of orchid names and synonyms, this definitive work offers the most comprehensive reference for miniature orchid species published to date.
This is an edition of only 2,000 books and all the sets we offer are signed. These will only go up in value over time. Certainly of collector interest.
Please Note: These books are heavy, weighing 30 pounds when boxed. The page size is 27 cm. x 20.5 cm. Hardcover, only sold in sets of 4. Sent in sturdy boxes, we double box for extra protection. These books are shipped directly from our Minnesota nursery. Foreign shipments, as well as shipments to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be quoted.
