I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am new to Florida and have just a smattering of knowledge about orchids. The writer hits all the right notes from a little bit of the history of Florida to the underworld of orchid thievery, to the snobishness of some people at orchid shows. The book contains a bibliography, a reader's guide and discussion topics. One reviewer called the book"deliciously weird and compelling." It's a fascinating, absorbing and frequently hilarious true tale.
