It is great to see those pods. This is a first for me too.

Oh yeah. ANY seeds make me drool, even non-orchids.

Dave, we're lucky to have you as our ambassador to the swamps. I know we can count on you to take only pictures and leave only footprints.

I have two ghosts (purchased legally) and even though these get more attention than anything else I grow, they are barely thriving.

Besides, the Fakahatchee IS our backyard.

These things are best where they are at, home.
