A few years ago when I first read Carl Luer's 'The Native Orchids of Florida' I loved his idea of creating a ghost orchid time lapse. I finally decided that this summer was the summer to tackle this project. I set up a camera on a ghost orchid bud in the wild heart of the south florida swamp and programmed the camera to take a picture every 4 minutes. I visited the camera each day and brought it home after it had been taking pictures for 75 hours in the swamps of Big Cypress National Preserve. I hope to shoot a few more of these time lapse videos this summer. You can find out more about the ghost orchid at my website, www.ghostorchid.info.
