Worth checking to see if your local library has them (if not put in a suggestion for purchasing;)

The containers are designed *VERY* nicely.....
Two new book arrivals that I've already got my name on...
thanks for the tip--they both look worthwhile.
I was impressed with both Rosemary......esp. the one on orchids (will be copying the pages on Cattelayas ;). In my quick scan I also saw that it gives detailed instructions on repotting the various species. :)
After looking at the orchids from the greenhouses and from the orchid show on Van Isl, I have renewed enthusiasm for them! I have just one I'm struggling with--not the best environment here. But maybe I'll try again. Love that fuzzy yellow one, the "Rhyncholaclia Digbyana".
There were so many unusual varieties in Nightowls thread. :) Regina had an Orchid Society show at the beginning of April (after seeing Sandy's pics I'm going to make sure I attend it next year). The yellow one caught my eye as well Rosemary........but I think the Catellaya, from the little I have read, will give me enough orchid challenge. :S
Must admit the Phals and Cymbidiums (just don't let it freeze) are on my *most loved* list....I can't kill them quite as easily! ;)
Which one are you struggling with?
