I remember, I was at work and started counting by area's. When I finished I had 98, not counting any baby Ghost's, I believe there's about 25 babys  So the search went on then my sister found 2 more and I found another there it was 101 Dendrophylax's OK since then not many more, maybe 5 total. Its been hard especially when alone on these trips, lots of the time I just sit and admire the beauty of this Majestic Cathedral this place untouched by humans still left alone as if time has stood still since the day GOD created it anyways let me put up some pictures thanks everybody,,Thanks to my good friend flhiker for all his valuable help you've been a great help..

Beautiful! Just beautiful, Mike. I hope to visit the strand with flhiker next month (at least that's the plan.)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Man I love the Owl shot. These Barn Owl don't seem to spook so easily.
