Those are such great shots Mike, thanks for sharing them. I never tire of seeing your pictures of wild Ghosts.

You deserve a long rest after all your efforts finding and photographing them. Great work

Thanks for all the effort you put into taking the pics, and for posting them. I know I will never actually see one in real life but I enjoy yours. Thanks.

Last night I showed my 8 year old grandson your post and explained about the ghost orchid. We can teach them young to enjoy natures beauty.
