New Brooklyn Botanic Garden Orchid Handbook Arrives

Congratulations to Award Winners!

The Best Orchids for Indoors.

The new BBG Orchid Handbook is here! Get all the information from authors Carlos Fighetti, David Horak, Charles Marden Fitch, H. Phillip Jessup and Cordelia Head.

With their fabulous flowers in brilliant colors and bizarre shapes, tropical orchids are the showstoppers of the indoor-gardening world. Some orchids grow several feet tall and wide and bear stunning flowers the size of dinner plates. Others are teacup-size plants that vanish under a frothy display of intricate flowers for several months a year. In between are hundreds of sensational plants that make perfect houseplants. In this book, written in cooperation with the American Orchid Society, you will discover a remarkable selection of gorgeous tropical orchids that will thrive in your home.

What's Inside:

How orchids grow in the wild—and how this offers clues to growing them successfully indoors
The fascinating relationships between orchids and their pollinators
The best orchids to grow in the home, including angraecoids, cattleyas, cymbidiums, dendrobiums oncidiums, Phalaenopsis, pleurothallids, tropical slipper orchids, vandas, and miniature orchids
