I read this book recently and thought it was quite well written. The author fleshed out the story and the people involved, filling in the gaps of what I knew of this saga. I enjoy history, Orchid history in particular. Although recent history, I'm sure this will become a classic in the genre of Orchid history.

I have no complaints but found the "Notes on Sources" a little strange in format and was wondering if I had lost touch with Australian culture due to the following quote regarding Meg Lowman " But she repeatedly failed in her efforts to reconcile her scientific pursuits with the Aussie ideal of a subservient wife"' Maybe someone was using a little poetic licence.

Regards, Mick
