Estimated time of release: April 2003

The RHS Orchid Committee is proud to announce an exciting new CD-ROM for all orchid lovers.
Since the 1880s, every plant given an award by The Royal Horticultural Society Orchid Committee has been specially painted in watercolours by one of a succession of talented RHS artists.

Now, for the first time, the thousands of RHS orchid paintings are made available on CD-ROM.
In addition to the paintings, the CD contains The Orchid Review Index. Since the end of the 19th Century (1890s) The Orchid Review has been one of the world's leading orchid publications, documenting and illustrating
