Orchids in Victoria
The following articles have been copied from the first three volumes of the Orchids in Victoria series (published in 2000, 2002 and 2003). These volumes have been produced by OSCOV for the benefit of Societies and growers. All the authors are well known Orchid growers in Victoria (Australia) who have contributed to this series of books to help promote orchid growing in Australia. These three volumes are now out of print but two later volumes, each with a new set of articles are available. Details of these can be found under publications. Once sold out, OSCOV has no plans to reprint any of these books. OSCOV retains all rights with regard to these articles and all content and images on this site. However you may reprint any of these articles in a Society Newsletter provided their Source and Author are listed at the start of the article. Please note that we have now added articles from More Orchids in Victoria and Many More Orchids in Victoria. There are now 117 articles linked from this page.
