If it's anything like Slipper Orchids of Vietnam, I'll be very happy.

In my opinion, it is the gold standard with which all other orchid monographs will be judged.

^^^^Hmmm, that's interesting to know. And I see that Orchidbooks.com has it on sale for 79.95 CDN$, regularly 112.95 CDN$.

The thing I find most promising about this forthcoming book is that the title says "slipper orchids," not "Paphiopedilum," thus suggesting to me that Chinese Cypripedium will be covered too.
