Description
Orchids have been admired for many centuries for their beauty of form, their dazzling colors and almost endless variety. They have been cultivated in the famous gardens and greenhouses of Kew since the eighteenth century, and throughout this long association Kew ha splayed a leading role in their introduction, naming, propagation, cultivation and conservation.
Illustrated with some of the finest specimens from the gardens' collection, this volume follows the story of orchids at Kew from the earliest times up to the present day.
