De wilde orchidee is het dramatische verhaal van de eigenzinnige Russische Lydia Ivanova en haar strijd om te overleven in het tumultueuze, door oorlog geteisterde China van 1928. Lydia en haar beeldschone maar onverantwoordelijke moeder zijn tijdens de revolutie uit Rusland gevlucht, en wonen als berooide outsiders in China. Noodgedwongen slaat Lydia aan het zakkenrollen in de oude Chinese binnenstad en raakt daardoor verstrikt in de netten van de criminele broederschap die wordt gedomineerd door bijzonder wrede triades. Het is Chang An Lo, een jonge idealistische communist, die haar redt en op wie ze hopeloos verliefd wordt. Hij en Lydia staan aan weerszijden van de politieke en sociale scheidslijnen en hun wederzijdse liefde is even onvergeeflijk en schaamtevol in de ogen van de Europeanen als in de ogen van de Chinezen. En hoeveel Chang ook van Lydia houdt, wil hij blijven vechten voor zijn politieke idealen. Een keuze die niet alleen hijzelf, maar ook Lydia bijna met de dood moet bekopen.

Confucius called them the “king of fragrant plants,” and John Ruskin condemned them as “prurient apparitions.” Across the centuries, orchids have captivated us with their elaborate exoticism, their powerful perfumes, and their sublime seductiveness. But the disquieting beauty of orchids is an unplanned marvel of evolution, and the story of orchids is as captivating as any novel. As acclaimed writer Michael Pollan and National Geographic photographer Christian Ziegler spin tales of orchid conquest in Deceptive Beauties: The World of Wild Orchids, we learn how these flowers can survive and thrive in the harshest of environments, from tropical cloud forests to the Arctic, from semi-deserts to rocky mountainsides; how their shapes, colors, and scents are, as Darwin put it, “beautiful contrivances” meant to dupe pollinating male insects in the strangest ways. What other flowers, after all, can mimic the pheromones and even appearance of female insects, so much so that some male bees prefer sex with the orchids over sex with their own kind? And insects aren’t the only ones to fall for the orchids’ charms. Since the “orchidelirium” of the Victorian era, humans have braved the wilds to search them out and devoted copious amounts of time and money propagating and hybridizing, nurturing and simply gazing at them. This astonishing book features over 150 unprecedented color photographs taken by Christian Ziegler himself as he trekked through wilderness on five continents to capture the diversity and magnificence of orchids in their natural habitats. His intimate and astonishing images allow us to appreciate up close nature’s most intoxicating and deceptive beauties.

The rich and often bizarre variety of form exhibited by orchids has long provided a fascination for amateur and professional botanists alike. Once seen as a hobby exclusively for the rich, the cultivation of orchids is now widespread and the need for an accurate and simple guide to the identification of species in cultivation has become apparent. This book aims to fulfill that need by providing botanically correct, yet easily accessible information about this unique and exceptionally diverse group of plants. The main part of the book is based on the text of the family Orchidaceae published in the second volume of The European Garden Flora, with the information fully updated and displayed in a revised format. Simple keys to the genera and to the species allow access to descriptions of 900 individual species which also include references to published illustrations and other useful information. Numerous line drawings of diagnostic features help to make the keys and descriptions easy to understand and use. A brief introduction covers the structural features of orchids important in identification, and gives some information on cultivation and a list of general references.
