Australian Succulent Orchids

Most of the Australian native orchid books available focus primarily on orchid flowers and the subtle differences between the flowers.  This booklet concentrates on an overview of the whole plant and its degree of succulence, making it unique and complementary to other existing publications promoting appreciation and understanding.

Orchid flowers are seasonal and may not last long. This booklet is about the plants that are worth growing and knowing just for how they look any time of the year.  The plants featured include some of the most drought-hardy, easy to grow orchids in the world. Extremely desirable and collectable plants for porch, patio and a range of other outdoor areas. Ideal for vertical gardens where space is a premium. The photographs show great examples of unusual and interesting Australian succulent orchids that many people haven’t seen before and it also includes plants suitable for rockeries.

The plant names used in this publication arre based on the most recent research and publications by David L. Jones.
