what's near Lake City, FL?

[jkehs]

Hi everyone,

We're going to be in Lake City, FL at the National Caving Convention. (I'm not a caver--that's my hubby's thing). I'm sure there must be something orchid-y in the area--Does anyone out there know of any nurseries?

Thanks in advance,

Jean

I don't live in the area but I found this for you ..
Florida Certified Nurseries Directory - Florida Certified Nurseries Directory
and this short list
Lake City, Florida Garden and Plant Nurseries
Perhaps one of them has orchids ..

Has your husband told you about Cave Orchids? I think they are usually gypsum formations, but they sure look like beautiful crystal flowers. Check this site for a good example.

thanks dorothy-I'll look at the directory

Jim-I did hear about "cave orchids" more commonly known as gypsum flowers. I think gypsum is a softer mineral that gets squeezed out between two harder rocks-kind of like toothpaste. I've seen pics-they're awsome.
