Thanks cali, girl he's good at locating them as well I've learned a-lot from him but it does take a-kind of special nut to be out there all day w/some huge gators let me send you a pic of the swamp when the water is high Im in there alone most of the time enjoy

Those double bloomers are amazing! Yup, you hit the lottery with these! You are so lucky to be able to see them in their natural habitat, athough sloshing around in a swampful of gators doesn't sound too appealing! I doubt I will ever see one in person, even cultivated.

Very cool picture. It looks a little... um, wet! What an adventure though. That's the kind of thing I'd enjoy.

Hmmm, something seems different about my last post

Just like a walk in the park. Except the gators, bears, snakes, and water up to your butt. Oh and the mosquitos that can pick you up and carry you away. Yes just like a walk in the park

You would be right! If it were as bad as it looks or sounds I definitely would not go myself. Although I would suggest being prepared (compass,gps,appropriate cloths and plenty of drinkable water) and you will have a blast.
