This title in other formats:Orchid Fever: A Horticultural Tale of Love, Lust and Lunacyby Eric Hansen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Eric Hansen entered the Borneo jungle in search of rare orchids, he didn't know what he was letting himself in for. Five years later, he was still on the trail of one of the world's strangest obsessions and some of humanity's oddest obsessives. Hilarious, bizarre and compelling, here is a tale of corruption, murder and plant politics; of smugglers, ice-cream makers and visionary breeders from the Orinoco River to the hothouses of Kew. Review:"A wonderful book. I was up all night reading it, laughing and crying out in horror." Annie Proulx Review:"It reads like a comic thriller...you don't have to be a classicist or a horticulturalist to enjoy this book. Plant politics are more gripping than the American primaries." Literary Review Synopsis:From the Orinoco River to the hothouses of Kew, this is a dark and humorous tale of orchid smugglers, visionary breeders; of corruption and murder; and of the bizarre world of international plant politics and the gentle people whose passion is the cultivation of these beautiful, fragile flowers.
