Response:

Eric A. Christenson’s ‘Phalaenopsis A Monograph’ published by Timber Press and available on Amazon.com. Great book. Line drawings and photographs of every species but one, which I forget which one that is. Wonderful tidbits on taxonomy and identification. By that I mean that he notes stuff like most equestris var rosea in pictures around today are actually hybrids of wild type var roseas and type equestris. Something a hybridizer should know. Or an interested hobbyist who wants to go to the next level of expertise. References not only to other taxonomic identifications but also to pictures in the AOS AQ, so you can look them up yourself. No ‘real’ culture, other than discussion of habitat. Anyway, I like it. K Barrett – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – IS THERE ANY BOOK THAT DEALS WITH PHALAENOPSIS SPECIES???

I got "Phalaenopsis" by Olaf Gruss and Manfred Wolff for Christmas. Unfortunately, only in German, I think. I don’t know how it compares to Cattleya and their relatives. — Reka http://www.rolbox.it/hukari/index.html "I hate flowers – I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move."        –Georgia O’Keeffe – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – IS THERE ANY BOOK THAT DEALS WITH PHALAENOPSIS SPECIES???

Dr. Herman Sweet authored "The Genus Phalaenopsis" in 1980.  It was published by the Orchid Digest as volume one of their orchids of the World series. — Ray Barkalow < First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info!
