Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated with over 300 colour photographs, this field guide to the wild orchids of Britain and Europe is a mixture of botany and travel. It provides information on orchid biology, distribution and classification, as well as detailed plant descriptions to aid identification. A special feature is the country-by-country coverage which indicates where, and when, these flowers may best be seen in their natural habitats, from Iceland to Israel, the Canary Islands to the Caucasus.
