Reseña del libro "Orchids of Lesvos (en Inglés)"

Just short of ninety species of orchids are found on Lesvos, and that is a conservative number, some researchers claim more. The number alone does not tell you how surprisingly prolific the orchids are, if you visit the right location in springtime.To make sure you do visit the right locations, this book includes 7 detailed tours in various parts of the island. Not only does it detail where to stop but also lists the orchids recorded in that location over various seasons.This book is well illustrated with clear colour photographs of almost all the species found in the main flowering period. It adopts a logical, structured approach to help with identification with diagnostic tips where possible. A map showing details of the distribution of orchids across the island and a chart of approximate flowering times are both included.It is a field guide with a difference; you can carry it with you on your smart phone or tablet. Once downloaded you simply open up your Kindle app, use the interactive contents to take you to the right section and scan through the pictures to identify the orchid in front of you. All this without an internet connection or a telephone signal, it is already stored on your phone or tablet.There can't be many large Greek islands that have remained as natural as Lesvos. Effectively, it is over-sized and under populated leaving extensive forests of pine, oak and chestnut cloaking the mountains and remaining largely undisturbed. It has olive trees in abundance, wonderful, ancient olive groves, centuries old, clinging to the hillsides held by nothing more than stones terraces and served with equally ancient mule tracks.It is an island loved by all those with an interest in natural history whether it is for bird watching, one of the top locations in Europe, wild flowers, orchids or insects it draws enthusiasts back year after year.
