Native Orchids of Nova Scotia
Carl Munden
Breton Books

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, it’s a plant as beautiful as the seven deadly sins. And as dazzling, serpentine and tempting. Munden was determined to find and display the orchids of his home province, and created a guide to help the rest of us do the same without risk of eternal damnation.
