This book coversthose plants that can be grown in the garden or frost free greenhouse. It shows that the range of orchids that can be grown out of doors at least somewhere in Europe and North America is much greater than most gardeners appreciate. Included are all of the orchids that are truly hardy throughout Europe and North America and those that will survive outside in certain areas but will need a degree of protection elsewhere. Most of these latter orchids will grow happily in the Alpine glasshouse where temperatures are kept above freezing in the winter months. A complete guide for grower and botanist.
