Ghost orchid video
I was fortunate to receive a email from Chrisaggie. that is a time lapsed video of a Ghost orchid bud opening. He did an amazing job. He also I believe is the first one to film a Ghost orchid getting pollenated by the Sphinx Moth. He's a hugh asset to the strand and anyone interested in the ghost orchid. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

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.)

This is how he did it
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.
