COOL FLOWERING 
ORCHIDS THROUGHOUT 
THE YEAR 
by Ross Macdonald 
Ross Macdonald is a highly respected orchid grower and 
photographer from the North Island of New Zealand. 
This volume is’devoted to cool growing orchid genera, 
which are easy to cultivate in New Zealand and southern 
Australia. Growers in tropical areas should not be dis- 
couraged, as many of these orchids are indeed adapt- 
able and will grow in a range of climates. Andy Easton 
has written the foreword. Ross has devoted the first few 
pages of the book to cultural hints, which are down to earth and give practical informa- 
tion on the basics of orchid cultivation. Basically this is a pictorial book with over 300 full 
colour photographs, covering a similar number of orchid species and hybrids. The qual- 
ity of both the photographs and the colour reproduction i is impressive. All of the orchids 
have been captured using available sunlight and there is no flash photography. There is 
a wide range of orchid genera covered with particular emphasis placed on cymbidiums, 
dendrobiums, laelias, masdevallias, the Odontoglossum alliance and Paphiopedilum. 
The photographs are arranged in four chapters, referring on their main blooming sea- 
son. The use of seasons ensures the text is also applicable to growers in the northern 
hemisphere. This inexpensive book is exceptional value and importantly is written by 
someone who knows and grows these orchids. | thoroughly recommend this book 
to orchid growers, as it will be of great value to both novice and experienced 
ve CRONIN $495 32.

THE WORLD OF ORCHIDS - 2 
The World of Orchids - 2 has been written by members 
and friends of the North Shore Orchid Society about 
] orchids grown in Sydney and its environs, and we are 
indebted to those people for their time and effort. » 
lt has been produced to cover a large range of genera 
to help not only the novice, but also the experienced 
grower in their present fields of interest, and to tempt 
} and encourage them to try other genera. 
It should be pointed out that the methods of culture used 
by the authors are those which they themselves have 
found successful. Growers should try any changes to 
their own culture gradually and on a few plants first, as
