A presentation of 491 popular orchid species with 13 varieties and 3 natural hybrids in 51 genera with names beginning with A to E carefully detailed with beautiful photographs and concise descriptions of the plants, their distribution and habitats by a well-known author and photographer. Each genus is assigned a separate chapter. Coverage of the most commonly cultivated Asian species including their varieties and cultivars (e.g. in Bulbophyllum 82 species; Coelogyne 37 species; Dendrobium 210 species) is exhaustive. The orchids are photographed from their best perspective as individual blooms or entire inflorescences. Many species are also shown growing in their natural habitat. Representative hybrids are included to illustrate how some species have contributed to show-worthiness of various genera, their adaptation to a wider climate range, and easy cultivation. This book is a pleasure to view; simultaneously, an easy reference for the identification of orchid species and it provides a guide on how best to grow them. Nowhere else will one find so many popular species beautifully illustrated in a single volume.
Volume 1 is the first of a 3 Volume series that will showcase over 900 species plus varieties in 117 genera.
A must for everyone fascinated by orchids or simply with a love for nature.

Coelogynne corymbosa in Sikkim ( Teoh Eng Soon 2020)
For Teoh Phaik Khuan, John, Kristine, Chrissy, Ning,and my orchid friends and mentors
In orchid circles today, discussions frequently centre on species, their discovery, identification and conservation. This publication reflects my effort to produce a photographic record of the orchid species that I have been privileged to come across.
This book is not a comprehensive flora of the region. No single sane person should try to write a comprehensive illustrated flora of the region, there being, I am told, 1256 species in India, 4000 species in Indonesia and new ones are continuously being added. Rather, the three volumes reflect a personal journey of half a century with Orchidaceae, this wonderful family of flowering plants. It features the orchid species that I have personally encountered and some of the hybrids that I have been privileged to see. It leaves out hybrids bred for the temperate regions because they are well covered by numerous experts in books and articles and I am not as familiar with these orchids.
Depending on where we live and our exposure, we each have our preferences, so the selected hybrids depicted here reflect my personal narrow perspective. Comments are kept as brief as possible to provide maximum space for pictures. Nevertheless, they need to contain information that will help in the identification of the species and data on their habitat. I tried to provide a historical perspective in the hybrid section because the past informs on the direction we should be heading. Readers who may wish to know more about orchid cultivation should consult my Orchids of Asia or similar publications.
I made many friends through my long association with orchids and many of them accompanied me to search for orchids both in cities and in the wild. They were generous in sharing their time, knowledge, expertise, collections, photographs and connections. I am grateful to these special people. They will always be remembered, although here they will not be mentioned by name.
Eng Soon Teoh
Dr. Teohs books on orchids are beautifully illustrated with his photographs and his earlier Asian Orchids (Orchids of Asia) sold 25000 copies. A recent work, Lotus, Photographs and Chinese Poems was praised by Dr. Henry Oakeley as truly beautiful, erudite, and a masterpiece.
Seeing thousands of orchids in bloom in their natural habitat in the wild is an awesome experience. When denied of that opportunity, one may still find pleasure in seeing plants in bloom in gardens, nurseries, shows or at home. Nothing beats seeing the actual flower. The next alternative is to view a photograph.
It is with this idea in mind that this book is conceived. Nevertheless, a volume on orchid species must endeavour to illustrate features which delineate the species. Hence, the character of the photographs. Texts will describe the distribution and habitats of species, also the altitude at which they occur because such information may be useful to everyone attempting to grow the orchid. Size and appearance of the plant as well as characteristics of the inflorescence and of individual flowers are additional essential information. Whenever the opportunity permitted, care was taken to focus on the lip, the structure of which is so important in separating species.
Electronic publication allows large pictures to be displayed because it is not restricted by consideration of cost. For purposes of identification, it is important to be able to see the details of the lip. Large pictures also impart impact. Since this book is also published in printed format, it is split into more than a single volume to prevent it from being too cumbersome to use for frequent cross-referencing. It should be noted that representation of species in any genus reflects their popularity rather than their actual numbers in nature.
