Gardening

Bob Liddelow has spent many years in the field each season, seeking different orchids. Blind "bush bashing" of likely spots rarely produces exciting finds, but given a lead by someone, the chances are greatly enhanced.

This is an orchid guide with a difference. Instead of covering all species with total distribution areas, this book treats a very representative collection of orchids in great detail. The specific sites for each orchid are illustrated with mud maps.

The book also cross-references some 275 orchids with about 230 sites in the greater south-west of Western Australia. Every orchid is illustrated in full colour.

There are also comprehensive indexes, a glossary, author's notes, and more.
