This is one put together for Ecuadorian orchids. It's covered with photographs, which are done in high color, separation and it will give you a variety of interesting genera and species. The cover shows you Dracula, one of the rainforest orchids. If you turn it over you find it's giving you one of the other species that's typical in the rainforest area as well.
