The Orchid Whisperer is an eminently intelligent and attractive book for beginning orchid growers. Rogers’ language is engaging and humorous, and strikes the right balance between being easy to read and needing a science degree to understand. He presents plenty of easy-to-understand advice to get novice growers on the road to success. Rogers even adds a chapter on decorating with orchids to challenge even experienced growers.
The Orchid Whisperer is one to put on the holiday list for novice orchidists.

If you’re only kinda into orchids, this book will turn you into an ardent collector. It’s jam-packed with wisdom about orchids by an expert grower. The information is clear, concise and easy to assimilate, from where to find the best bargains, to how to help your orchid survive the ride home in your car (I’d estimated that 10 per cent of orchids bought by novices never make it home alive and another 10 per cent suffer significant damage”). As well as tips on growing orchids, you’ll find out which are the best rooms in the house to grow them, how to care for them while you’re away, and more. This is a likeable, intelligent read.
