Today I picked up my 6 copies of
'Growing Hardy Orchids' . It's a nice-looking colourful book but I'm not the best judge of its qualities, given its chequered history. I started editing it over 6 years ago following the success of
Growing Orchids from Seed but the challenge of multiple authors combined with a period of deep unhappiness at work led to it being called 'blasted book ' in this household for the angst it caused me.
Handing over reponsibility for the book resulting in a major rejig of its contents means I no longer have a sense of ownership but that's not a bad thing- I've moved onto far more interesting and fulfilling roles in my job. I'm just glad to see it out at last, my orchid swansong. Now I can move on.
well done - sounds like a good thing to get behind you. it looks reallly interesting too :)
