How about a trip to the Fakahatchee Strand?

[prem]

Ok...to clear up some of the confusion here:

Epi. floridense is the Floridian population of orchids very similar to Epi. difforme. It is shown as Epi. difforme in Luer's book. In WOOF, it is ID'd as Epi. floridense.

Epi. amphistomum is what used to be called Epi. anceps in Luer's book. In WOOF, it is listed as Epi. amphistomum, with the further form fma. rubra being applied to the form with dark reddish leaves (although there could be some argument that this is due to light levels and not a different form).

Epi. rigidum in Luer is still Epi. rigidum today.

Epi. acunae has not been seen for a number of years.

Epi. strobiliferum is still extant in the swamps, but is a small, inconspicuous plant.

Epi. magnoliae is the current name for Epi. conopseum. Listed as Epi. conopseum in Luer, listed as Epi. magnoliae in WOOF. Neither var mexicanum or var magnoliae occurs as far south as the Fakahatchee...the southernmost plants of this species seem to grow roughly parallel to Lake Okeechobee.

How about another trip?

Thanks for the clarification Prem.

Joe,It will be a couple, maybe 3 weeks before I can go. But you don't need me. Let me know when you are thinking of going and I will see what I can do.

Joe I definetly need two or three weeks to get some work done around the house. But after that I am down for another trip!

[Swamper]

Oh man I don't think I can wait 3 weeks. Well I'll keep you guys posted.

[Justin Parkkonen]

Sorry for the late response. Told you guys I fall off the earth every few weeks.

I think I am going to do some more research before my next trip out. I really want to find a Dwarf Butterfly or something crazy like that. Looking forward to making a trip in winter to get shots of all the common stuff blooming.

Thanks again for the wonderful time guys! Look forward to doing it again soon. Hopefully I can find that Dwarf Butterfly or something crazy to share with you.

I'll try and post the shots of the Pine Pink soon. They aren't as good as Joe's anyway.

Justin, you don't have a gallery? What's up with that? I know you are hiding some mad pictures. Give it up man.
