Sarah Bilston unfolds the story of orchid mania, the nineteenth-century craze among European and North American collectors vying to own the worldâ s most coveted flowers. Focusing the hunt for the so-called lost orchid, an especially vaunted flower native to Brazil, Bilston reveals the enormous human and environmental cost of a colonial obsession.
