Top 5 Most Popular Orchid Books Our Readers Choose

Friday, April 29th, 2011

For years we’ve recommended our favorite Orchid books to our dedicated audience. We have listened to what you our readers actually choose as your favorite books to add to your collection. We have found there are five very most popular Orchid books our readers select. Here they are:

  1. Orchids For Dummies - This is by far the most popular Orchid book
  2. Understanding Orchids - This book is very popular, second behind Orchids For Dummies. As it provides more detail, we are guessing it is #2 since it is not a book just for beginners.
  3. Flora’s Orchids - This is a popular book, third on the list.
  4. Taylor’s Guide to Orchids - This is still very popular, fourth on the list.
  5. Easy Orchids - This is fifth, at about half of the interest of Taylor’s Guide to Orchids.

In our experience is very useful to get a number of orchid books from beginning to expert, to help understand how to buy, identify, understand, and care for these wonderful plants. Some orchids are easier to care for than others. It is always the best to get an orchid that will grow in your conditions, or an orchid that you can change your conditions to fit. Enjoy this list!
