question...killed your ops as in killed the plants? or just froze the flowers off?

BTW, I have an Epi. magnoliae growing in a tree in my yard that has a flower that stayed fresh throughout the freezes here in the northern Orlando...those things are troopers!

As far as getting those shots in the field...a tripod is a necessity in most instances...but even then, keeping the subject still in a typical Florida breeze is going to be challenging. For lower light shots, a flash with an off-shoe cable and a reflector or diffuser is essential for subjects in the woods.

The twayblades and coralroots should be up at Goethe now...unless the frosts killed them back (I don't think they would, though). I wonder how the plants down in the swamps fared...any word on the epiphytes in the Fak, flhiker?
