You don't have any orchid plants.  You don't have to be a gardener.
You have never tried to grow anything and are certainly afraid to start on orchids?  Be brave.  Don't despair!  You don't need a green thumb or a greenhouse.

Orchid plants are surprisingly sturdy despite the delicate appearance of their beautiful flowers.  To a certain extent they thrive on neglect.  Learn in my e-book how much and when to water......when and where to cut off a spray of dead flowers.....when to repot...... and much more.  You will have fine results.

"Dear Doctor Barker,  I have read your book on advice to a beginning Orchid hobbyist and find it filled with information for those who are just starting.  Perhaps I should add that it can be of added value to those who need to be reminded.  It is refreshing to read of someone's personal experiences and advice as opposed to too many coffee table picture books and high tech orchid books."  Ernest Hetherington, Huntington Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA
 



Do you wonder if those plants in grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores, regular garden shops are truly orchids?
 

You BET they are; they ARE for real!


The orchid family is one of the world's largest plant families, consisting of at least 30,000 species.

They grow wild in almost every corner of the world.  Many of those wild orchid species have been tamed so that you can now grow them in your own home!

You most likely will have a plant that is from one of the seven families listed above.  These types are easy, fun and rewarding to grow.  Discover the secrets in the 105 pages of  "Caring for Your First Orchids" complete with an eight page glossary of words used in orchid culture.
 

"Dr. Barker's e-book is worth many times the price. People who have never gardened before but who dream of having stunning flowers all fall and winter can be successful in keeping an orchid plant alive and blooming with the wealth of information in this book. He is truly an Orchid Doctor as well as an M.D.!"…A. Morgan, Tryon, NC
