A study of orchids and how, for some people, they have become an unshakable obsession, which takes us from the Orinoco to Kew Gardens, and from clandestine nurseries to the Peat Bogs of Minnesota. Illus.
From the Orinoco River to the hothouses of Kew, this is a dark and humorous tale of orchid smugglers, visionary breeders; of corruption and murder; and of the bizarre world of international plant politics and the gentle people whose passion is the cultivation of these beautiful, fragile flowers.
