Nick's Recommendation:
Orchids are a group of really interesting plants I don't often research; indigenous ones to Anglesea are often difficult to propagate and do not do well away from their natural habitat. This field guide makes what is a sometimes overwhelming group of plants very easy to identify.
Spotting orchids has become one of my families most enjoyable things to do on our bushwalks. One of us usually spots an orchid the other cant see and it turns into a team event! This compact guide is fantastic to flick through to see what you've found out in the bush.
Orchid Enthusiasts will find the leaf pictures very helpful to scout out up coming orchids in the coming months!
Description:
This comprehensive field guide to the terrestrial orchids of the Anglesea district includes clear, simple and precise descriptions.
The superb photographs depict the diagnostic features of 115 species found in a region recognised for the outstanding richness of its orchids.
Author and conservationist Margaret MacDonald hopes this fourth edition will encourage you to explore the fascinating world of native orchids and support their protection for future generations.
