The orchid is the most evocative of flowers, inspiring in some of its admirers a fanaticism akin to madness, as demonstrated in Susan Orlean's popular novel The Orchid Thief. This elegant survey of the orchid treats its place in legend and suggests the impact that these exotic plants had on the temperate European mind. Berliocchi chronicles the adventurers and scientists who introduced these marvels, discusses their place in the arts from literature and magic to cuisine, and concludes with accounts of the most important genera and their cultivation. Splendidly illustrated with period engravings and botanical paintings, it is literate and delightful.This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.

Nanny vs Mr sinister is
Format: Kindle
A book I wanna read. The fact that he's terrified of the egg lady is hilarious. Also. Spoilers to follow
When Orphan Makers armor was cracked what was the gas that came out?
Poor Havok can't seem to ever catch a break. He keeps getting put into no win situations that have finally started to break him .
Empath, Harpoon(?), and nanny really didn't need to be on the team. Considering Empath was killed almost immediately, nanny was taken out easily and w c was hiding til he got beat by psylock.
The art was better than it has been and the story was enjoyable. Plot holes notwithstanding.
Overall I give it a solid: B

Artwork excellent

I like the overall story but it got stuck in a few places. The overall expectations are promising and plan to follow storylines.
