How about a trip to the Fakahatchee Strand? - Page 16 - Orchid Board

I do have a thrinax radiata that I recently planted, not the coco. I wish I had room for Copernicias, they may be my favorite palm genus, the baileys especially. I do a lot of volunteer work at Montgomery research center, so I get my fix there. I also have Chambeyronia macrocarpa (red feather palm) and Dypsys spp. Neophloga pink crownshaft and a couple of other small ones in pots.

Can't wait to see TRAX's pics on Prosthechea Cochleata in bloom. My division I got a few months back is putting out 2 inflorescences, and another person who got a division has his already in bloom.

The Encyclia boothianas should be in bloom, Swamp, you know where any are?

Susan, did you guys make the trip this year? I'd love to go- if ok with you guys. I live in the Palmbeach area, but the everglades sounds so very interesting. Pl keep us posted. Thank you!

Hey Sam! I haven't been back yet. I don't like the water when it is too deep. So I will wait a while. I see where some of the guys posted that they were going today. Be sure to send them a personal message and maybe go with them next time. I have met Flhiker, Swamper, and Got Ants personally and they are all good guys to spend a morning in the swamp with! Just watch this thread for more info.

I actually don't even know what they are. Well now I do cause I just looked it up, but still don't know where.

Hey Sam you're more than welcome to go with us anytime you want. We did have a great time. Saw all kinds of stuff. I'll let Justin and Chris show their pictures first though as they seemed really really happy.
