Stunning, intimate photographs bring orchids to life in this showcase of the extraordinary collection of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida. As a leader in the study and conservation of orchids and other epiphytes, Selby Gardens is home to the best scientifically documented collection of living orchids in the world. A fascinating and accessible text by their botany and horticulture experts explores the remarkable beauty and diversity of one of the largest and most admired families of flowering plants, examining their vibrant colours, elegant lines, and sometimes other-worldly shapes. This striking volume is published in celebration of Selby Gardens' 50th anniversary, and will be a delight for all those intrigued by the unique and complex splendour of orchids.
