Orchid References

First a confession; I’m a recovering academic. As a result, one of the first things I look towards when exploring a new field is its supporting literature. Although I was exposed to orchids at a young age, it wasn’t until I moved to Florida 10 years ago that I’ve been able to pursue my love or orchids more actively. Below is the beginngs of a library. I’ll consider myself somewhat well-read when I’ve hit about 100 volumes, so I’ve got a ways to go (please don’t tell my wife!).
