Allthough orchids have surrounded me all my life and I allready had a couple for a few years, my true interest in orchids as a hobby started last year.
And because I had no orchid books of my own this weekend I decided to place an order on amazon as a start of my own Orchid library.

Today was the big day and my package from amazon arrived. Not too bad, delivery in 3 days and still made use of the free shipping option.

So since today I'm proud owner of these two books.

Tropical Slipper Orchids by Harold Koopowitz, nothing to explain here I think.

Orchideen in unserem Garten ( = Orchids in our Garden ) by Irmin Vogler. This is a book in German containing a very practical guide on the cultivation of European and Northern American Orchids in your own backyard. It contains nice guides depicting how to create a habitat for various types of Orchids. And best of all it contains a lot of information about Cypripedium's.

For now there is one book left on my "want to buy" list and that's the "Paphiopedilum Growers Manual" by Lance Birk.
