I just received a tweet from Corkscrew Swamp indicating that their world-famous ghost orchid is blooming for the fourth time this year with four flowers.

I don't have any pics from this blooming, but you can see photos taken the first time it was discovered in 2007 and March of this year on my blog:

got ants,
the boardwalk is handicapped-accessible and they have loaner wheelchairs on a first-come-first-served basis. In 2007, my wife was pretty darned pregnant and having the wheelchair helped immensely.

If you can find a friend to push you, you should be able to go.

Cool. I was in there in July 2009 and saw one of the Ghosts. It was my first time seeing an orchid in the wild!
