The Story
Englishman Frederick William Burbidge (1847-1905) was a legendary and intrepid collector of tropical orchids, traveling in Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Australia, and the Fiji Islands in search of specimens. His experience trying to cultivate these tropical plants in more temperate regions led him to publish Cool Orchids in 1874, which focused on successful orchid growing in cooler climates. More than 20 black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.
