Smile Found a nice, helpful, beautiful book

I'm so much a newbie I've bought an orchid book before even venturing to buy an orchid! But it's such a great book I wanted to share, it's called: "The Practical Encyclopedia of Orchids" by Rittershausen and it takes you through everything--species directory, care, propigation, anatomy, best of all--pest and disease care *and* what to look for when choosing a healthy plant : ) Actually, best of all, to offset the environmental impact of printing, for each purchase, a tree is planted! How cool and lovely is that!

Take Care,
Just wanted to share with all the other newbies here : )
