Truer words were never spoken - or quoted... Someone should write a murder mystery or spy novel/thriller about the orchid world. But no one would believe it.

Mary Motes' book has decent reviews at Amazon, too. There's another Mary
Motes who wrote about the Bosnian conflict in 'Kosova-Kosovo' I wonder if they are the same person. Anyone know?

it would appear so...
The author was born in England and met her husband, Dr. Martin Motes (before he became the world famous orchid grower) when both were teaching in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. http://www.orchidmall.com/misc/motesbook.htm the "orchid hunter" book, and another by the same title, appear to be bodice-rippers. --j_a |
