The true story of an orchid. It doesn't sound like a very exciting story,but it was. Orchid people are nutty, I've concluded, but there are many nutty people in all kinds of professions. The story is about a new slipper orchid and its "discoverer" and a whole lot of orchid people who got into this mess. The basic "story" is about Michael Kovach, who brought this new orchid into the country, showed it to orchid people at Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota, and had it named after him. But a lot of other people are involved in some way with t his story. I needed to keep checking the cast of characters- hard to keep them all straight. It all ended with a court case in which Kovach is on trial for bringing in this orchid illegally (among other charges).
:I enjoyed the story and was interested enough to keep reading all the way through. Still a bit of mystery at t he end, as in all real stories.
