The Mighty Fakahatchee

I am definitely looking forward to reshooting the Ghost in order to get a descent wide angle shot. Mike, I'll shoot that double that you found high up in the tree (the one you can climb the downed Pop Ash up to).

Here is a shot from behind:



More of a classic shot (turned out okay, not great):



And of course the original Ghost Hunter:

sorry little depressed 4 ghosts blooming,,,,but yes 1 polinated ghost deteriating sucks that means no 5 at once but at least somebodys pregnant

[Justin Parkkonen]

Ahh man, that does kind of stink. It would have been nice to see all five at once, but at least the Ghost got pollinated! That is really great news. That is two found already this year. Nice work!

Wonderful. Shame they won't all be open together, but great that it's polinated.

That first pic is fantastic, even with the deteriating bloom.

[mikeurquia]

chances are the polinator is near by.....its so low that the scent must be so strong at night.........thats when they[flowers] emit there fragrance.....the cork screw plant is so high ??????????40 feet up the moth would need to be a blood hound to find

[mikeurquia]

chances are more polination soon problem?????????this orchid so low to the ground that if seeds go are born most likely going to hit ground might need some help ????????????????what u think hiker .....low to the ground means when polinated all will go to the ground what a shame
