The orchid is the most evocative of flowers, inspiring in some of its admirers a fanaticism akin to madness, as demonstrated in Susan Orlean's popular novel The Orchid Thief. This elegant survey of the orchid treats its place in legend and suggests the impact that these exotic plants had on the temperate European mind. Berliocchi chronicles the adventurers and scientists who introduced these marvels, discusses their place in the arts from literature and magic to cuisine, and concludes with accounts of the most important genera and their cultivation. Splendidly illustrated with period engravings and botanical paintings, it is literate and delightful.

This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.

wrong fit - small and doesn't match original - doesn't meet description
Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Black
DKNY must watch who produces their brand. Have a few pairs and they are made in Bangladesh and fit amazing. Just ordered this pair and it's not even close to how it should fit. Very small and waist band doesn't stretch at all and made in China.

Great Watch and Worth The Price
Color: 6692:Silver strap&blue dial
My husband loves this watch. I looked at a watch (Bulova brand) it was $650 and it looks just like this watch. I bought this one instead and my husband wears it everyday and is happy with it. It was a great birthday present :) I saved money and so I was able to spend extra $$ on some things I wanted too… umm, maybe I shouldn’t of said that :) lol
