Ross in the Fakahatchee
 all, Had the pleasure of showing Ross and his wife Dottie and also David (dgenovese1) a little piece of the Fakahatchee Strand last Sunday. A trip a long time in the making. We managed to find a blooming Simpson grass orchid, a Dingy flower star orchid. I was able to show them some spiking ghost's, unfortunatly none in flower. I had a great time and hope they did as well. Here's some pictures of the trip. And looking forward to Davids and Ross's pictures since they had much better equipment then I did.

Hey Dave,
Thanks for a great guided trip to the strand!  I had a fantastic time. I'll be posting a few pics tomorrow evening...I'll post them in this thread to make it easier to see all of our pics together. 
Take care, David
PS I'm looking forward to the return trip in a couple of months to get a look at those blooming ghost spikes.

It's great to see the OB connecting people in other ways than just online forums. Looks like you all had a great time! Thanks for posting the pics.

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.)
