All forty-three of the orchids currently growing in Indiana are presented in this handsome volume. Each species account contains a detailed description of the orchid and includes color photographs and range maps for both the state and the country. But this is more than just a state orchid book. Mike Homoya gives us detailed discussions of the orchid genre, reproduction, pollination, habitat, conservation, classification, and finding tips. He includes a checklist of Indiana orchids and an appendix which presents scientific and common names. No expense has been spared to make this book the very best of its kind. It will appeal to naturalists and orchid lovers everywhere.
