Trade Review
"Botanist and writer Sandra Knapp… confesses to having been both ‘fascinated and slightly repelled’ by orchids, put off by this garishly dressed family—the second largest in the world with over 30,000 species. But the sweep, intelligence and research on display in Extraordinary Orchids, a lavish, oversize volume, will surely push the reluctant closer to admiration." Wall Street Journal
