"The Woodlands Orchids, Described and Illustrated: With Stories of Orchid-Collecting" by Frederick Boyle is a detailed botanical account written in the early 20th century. The work is primarily focused on the cultivation, characteristics, and stories surrounding various orchid species, specifically those in the Woodlands collection. Through vivid descriptions and illustrations, the author aims to educate orchid enthusiasts about the rare and exotic varieties while sharing fascinating personal anecdotes associated with their collection. At the start of the text, Boyle outlines the origins of the Woodlands orchid collection, brought about by Mr. Measures' convalescence and his eventual decision to cultivate orchids. Boyle describes the initial challenges Measures faced in selecting the right plant species, leading to his discovery of orchids as the ideal choice. The narrative transitions into a discussion on the diversity and rarity of orchids, the structure of the collection, the dedicated staff managing the plants, and the intricate beauty of specific orchid varieties that were meticulously cultivated. This section effectively sets the tone for a deeper exploration of orchid culture and the many intriguing stories surrounding the pursuit of these botanical gems.
