Product Description
The Dutch had Tulip Mania in the 17th century. Victorian England had its own equivalent with "orchidelirium," an obsessive passion for orchids that has carried into thepresent day. Orchids remain among the most beautiful, hotly debated, and passionately collected of all flowers.ORCHIDELIRIUM presents Harold Feinstein's breathtaking pictures of orchids--dozens of different varieties and shades of them. In the tradition of the critically acclaimed gift book One Hundred Flowers (Bulfinch Press, 2000), this new volume offers images of staggering detail and subtlety. Nobody has been able to match Feinstein's mastery of flower photography, and nowhere is his remarkable talent as evident as it is in these pictures oforchids, nature's most delicate and variegated creations.

Review #2: Gorgeous coffee table book on orchids
2007-04-20
This book has stunning photographs of all kinds of orchids. If you like the front cover, you are sure to like this book. The book is large, not only coffee-table size, but also very thick (and heavy!). With the gorgeous pictures, it would make a wonderful gift for any orchid lover. Unfortunately I haven't seen the main competition, the book "Orchids" so I can't say how they compare, but I can't imagine going wrong with this book.
