Default First Ghost

This is the first Ghost Orchid I have seen blooming, it took many trips to find it but it was worth all the trouble and skin Seriously it was definately worth it.

Yeah I can understand the crazyness. I spend most of the time looking for it. Then I run into something else amazing like a clamshell orchid which is great too. Unfortunately you have to deal with the mosquitos, gators, bears and others....why can't they just leave me alone!!!!! LOL
