Acknowledgements

Most of the orchids illustrated in this book were grown by the author. However, I wish to thank the following people for allowing me to photograph plants in their collections: Margaret Barrett, Kerrie Bennett, Adrian Browne, Jim Cootes, Howard Gunn, Ray Hill, Sandy Holmes, Barry Long, Bruce Lonnon, Bob McCue, Brian Milligan, Jim Neal, Andy Phillips, John Roberts, Ken Smart and Darryl Smedley. I wish to express thanks to my photographic mentor, David Titmuss and to Jim Cootes who read and commented on the manuscript. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my parents, Lynette and Graeme, for their encouragement.

This book is dedicated to the memory of my late wife Jannine Louise Banks.
