Pocket Guide to the Orchids of Britain and Ireland

Comprehensive book. Lots of great information - each species has at least 3 pages dedicated to it and there are pages comparing groups of similar orchids which really helps narrow things down. Unfortunately some of the pictures of the dark reddish purple orchids are not as defined as they could be (looks like the print process could not cope with the bright colours so they appear 'over blown' and there is a lack of contrast). Other than that I am very happy with my purchase. Good size, not too heavy so can easily be carried in the field.

I didn't know anything about our native orchids and now after reading this small but comprehensive book I feel as though I know a great deal and it has wet my appetite to learn more.

A great pocket guide, packed with information on every orchid species you are likely to see in Britain. Excellent value for money.

A trimmed down version of the original, for use in the field with budding botanists in mind who are not sure of ids very goodand will help enormously, less text than original but a very good buy.

Handy little book to slip in your pocket so you see a flower and compare.

Beautiful book

Beautifully written and illustrated book. Provides great detail on each orchid with a photograph or several of each orchid.

Lovely handy field sized book, with clear photos and concise details.
