Breathtaking!
This is such a beautiful book, sure to lift the spirits with each variety of orchids found in Nature and in this book. The photography is breathtaking and the images range from monkey-faced orchids which will make you smile, to white angelic orchids with delicate wings, which will fill you with awe. Highly recommended for anyone in love with beauty.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
