Description

An accessible, comprehensive and beautifully illustrated guide--the only one to cover all the orchids found in Britain and Ireland

Covering all fifty-one native species and twelve of uncertain origin, as well as hybrids and variants, Britain's Orchids is an engaging, intuitive and in-depth identification guide to all the orchids of Britain and Ireland at all stages of development, from first emergence to setting seed. Drawing on the authors' extensive field experience and the latest scientific research, the book uses multiple techniques to help both beginner and more advanced orchid enthusiasts to identify even the most difficult plants. It is beautifully illustrated with watercolour paintings by talented artist Sarah Stribbling, and features more than 1,200 evocative, instructive and detailed photographs. Orchids have long fired the imagination with their beauty and rarity. This book aims to ignite or increase your passion for these special plants, and for the conservation of their varied habitats--from remote mountaintops to urban wild spaces.

  • Lavishly illustrated with 98 beautiful watercolour plates
  • More than 1,200 stunning photos showing the orchids in their natural settings and highlighting key identification features
  • Simple, step-by-step system for identifying almost any orchid you encounter
  • Up-to-date distribution maps and seasonal charts showing when each species can be seen in its various stages of development
