This book is indeed an important milestone in the development of orchidology in the Philippines, continuing the legacy of preeminent orchidologists such as Oakes Ames, Eduardo Quisumbing, and Helen Layosa-Valmayor. Written in non-technical language and profusely illustrated with photographs of orchids from their natural habitats, it was deliberately crafted for the benefit of amateur botanists, natural history enthusiasts and orchid hobbyists, a few of them actually initiated into this existing field.
