Summary of Orchids of Indiana (Wildflowers)
" ...perhaps the most carefully done and beautiful work on orchids at the state level has been produced by Michael A. Homoya of the Indiana Natural Heritage Program...Mr. Homoya's lifelong interest in orchids comes through clearly on every page of this magnificent book. His firsthand knowledge of each kind of orchid known from Indiana is so vividly described that one gets the feeling of being in the field or at least wanting to get to the field as soon as possible...Mr. Homoya is to be commended for a most outstanding book. It is a must for any orchid enthusiast." - Robert H. Mohlenbrock. 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.Gardening & Horticulture Books
