PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
After schooling in Lancashire, the author studied for a medical degree at St John's College, Cambridge, and in London at St Thomas's Hospital Medical School, where he eventually became Professor of Microbiology. During that time Ian was able to see all the British orchids except the elusive Ghost. Retirement to Spain allowed him time to see all the Malaga orchids, on which he made detailed notes on where and when to find them and, on the basis of his photographs, how to identify them. This experience is the basis of this book.
