Yes, I go 2 or 3 times a month and I always get excited just before going. I been looking for these plants for over 3 years and none yet.

I'm going to have to get you to show me the Tolumnia you found.

I've made over a dozen trips to the Fakahatchee (relatively few) since the beginning of 2004 and haven't seen a sign of the "lost orchids". I actually spent all of Memorial Day looking for Vanilla mexicana here in Martin County and had no success. Spoke with main park Biologist the next day to find they have been missing since the hurricanes of 2004.

Wait until you see the Tolumnia shots I took this morning! I am going to post them when I get home. Do you come up this way often?

Sorry guys, but I have to bail. I just got word there is a ceremony for the president of the Davie Orchid Society who passed away last sunday, happening tomorrow.

Dave, I got your PM, but just phoned you from the PH# I got from Joe to confirm. If that's the right number (I won 't post it here) I'll call again to cancel.

Sorry about this, Brady

RIP Leo
