# Orchid - Hardcover

by **Dan Torre** (Author)

**A wide-ranging natural and cultural history of orchids.**

Approximately eight percent of all the Earth's flowering species are orchids. Known for their beautiful flowers, delicate forms, and sweet fragrances, orchids are unlike any other flower. Orchids have been contemplated by philosophers, celebrated by artists, and cultivated or even eaten by millions. They occupy our thoughts, stories, greenhouses, supermarkets, and homes. _Orchid_ surveys all of this and more as Dan Torre explores the intriguing and multifaceted natural and cultural history of orchids.
