A comprehensive and long-overdue look at one of the continent's outstanding orchid floras. - Brian Cassie, author, National Audubon Society Field Guide to New England "Too many of us only think of orchids as tropical and subtropical plants. Brown's guide is a must for anyone with an interest in orchids or the flora of this region. For those not interested in orchids, be warned that this book will go a long way toward developing an interest (some say an addiction) in these fascinating plants." - David Campbell, professional photographer"
