| Summary: In this supplement to his celebrated series of books on the Cattleya alliance of orchids, Carl Withner joins with Patricia Harding to explore "the debatable epidendrums." Carl Linnaeus established the genus Epidendrum in 1753 to include the mostly epiphytic orchid plants being sent to him from tropical America. Over time the genus grew to include more than 1000 species of evergreen epiphytic, lithophytic, or terrestrial orchids. Some of these epidendrums were transferred to other genera. Others have yet to be divided into natural subgroups, which could be split off into their own genera. A portion of these remaining epidendrums, those with pseudobulbs, are the focus of this volume. This book is certain to be of use to hobbyists, collectors, and growers alike. |

| Summary: Cattleyas are frequently called "the Queen of the Orchids," and Carl Withner's passion for them started before World War II. About 12 years ago he published the first in this series of six books, which now comes to a conclusion with this final volume. The South American Encyclia species have not previously been the subject of a book, and the genus presents many problems and difficulties. A few of the species are known from a single herbarium specimen and may well now be extinct because of the continuing loss of habitat. This volume also includes taxonomic and nomenclatural changes affecting species covered in the earlier volumes, as well as additions and changes to the text of each of the five volumes. |

| Summary: In 1818, William Cattley succeeded in flowering one of the first species of the genus that would bear his name. These first cattleyas are the classic cattleyas, whose form defined the essence of tropical orchids for generations to come. Indeed, the color of their flowers became known as "orchid." In this helpful and informative book, each classic Cattleya species is described in fascinating detail, and its role in breeding programs is elucidated. All that is required to appreciate and grow the large-flowered cattleyas successfully is included. Cultivation, humidity and watering, fertilizing, propagation, and diagnosing and treating problems are detailed, making this volume valuable for both veteran orchid enthusiasts and those who simply love these beautiful flowers. |

| Summary: This book is the first to take an in-depth look at the many gorgeous hybrids that have been made by combining Vanda species and hybrids with other related genera in the Sarcanthinae subtribe, which includes Aerides, Arachnis, Ascocentrum, Neofinetia, Paraphalaenopsis, Phalaenopsis, Renanthera, Rhynchostylis, and Vandopsis, as well as Vanda, and provides detailed information on how to grow these magnificent plants.The book is divided into two main sections. Part One traces the evolution of today's Vanda and Ascocenda hybrids, and examines the combinations of these with other genera. The first section also includes a discussion of the role of chromosomes and genes in the transmission of traits, and the flower quality standards used by orchid judges. Because the genus Ascocentrum has been the most frequent and popular partner in intergeneric combinations with vandas, this genus and the resulting hybrid genus Ascocenda are given separate and more extensive coverage.Part Two provides a detailed reference manual for plant selection, environmental requirements, and successful cultivation. Included in the book and of particular interest to readers not well versed in the peculiarities of orchid classification and nomenclature is "A Guide to Orchid Classification and Nomenclature" in Appendix A. |
