I always find it harder to talk about non-fiction. Mostly because I can find any subject interesting if it’s teaching me new things in a way that isn’t just a list of facts.
The book chronicles the authors mission to see all of the native orchids to the British isles. In truth, I didn’t even know there were orchids native to Britain, assuming they were more tropical, or found in Marks and Spencer’s plant section. I enjoyed the weaving of the history of specific species in with the travels and encounters with them. It’s a shame the book doesn’t have the photos in them, however you can view them on his website, which I did, along side reading them. It helped give the descriptions context for me. I’d recommend it if you think it’s your thing.
