Pleione are some of the most popular varieties of orchid as they are relatively easy to grow. Because they're endemic to the mountains and foothills of the Himalayas, India, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Taiwan, and China, they easily adapt to the climate of the Northern Hemisphere. The authors provide a comprehensive account of the biology, classification and cultivation of 22 species and natural hybrids. There is also a list of registered hybrids.
