About the book >.>.> Few orchid growers particularly F those in cooler climates ever have much growing space to spare; indeed following a variant of Parkinson’s Law collections tend to expand to fill the available space. For this reason if for no other miniature orchids hold a spe cial attraction for space-bound growers. But there is more to miniatures than mere spatial economy. They have a charm all their own an elegance and delicacy that is often lacking in their larger relatives. And there is much to be said for a plant that will live happily for many years in a 7 cm pot or on a small mount; ask anyone who has divided and repotted a large collection of Cymbidium hybrids. There are few popular orchid which do not include among genera their num ber a miniature or two; while some large genera such as Maxillaria are com posed almost entirely of miniatures and may form the basis of a specialised collection.
