Chris,

Thanks again for the call and it was a pleasure meeting you as well. I think I am going to try and visit these orchids later today, but I am not sure what time (have to fit it into the schedule). Give me a call or shoot me a text if you would like to go!

Planning on aiming for Fakahatchee or Flamingo sometime next week, would you be interested?

I really suspect that these plants survived the freeze for two reasons,
A) most tropicals have the ability to survive 2-3 hours of temps at 0 or just above (centigrade) and
B) Since the freeze occured in Florida last year, people who have found survivors and posted them here on Orchid Board always find them directly over water. The large bodies of water (the swamp/everglades etc) really act as a temp buffer. Whatever freezing happened here was probably much milder than what you would have seen in your backyard.
I also suspect that orchids on trees take in more heat then orchids in any other growing medium.
Last winter I had a lot of damage to my orchids that were hanging. The ones on trees were totally unharmed.

You are all wrong! I went out there and put a blanket on them, so they would stay warm.

I like them both! I think I like the first one a little better.

Some people will do anything to get a good shot of an orchid. We had fun today taking some good shots.

I'd hate to try to balance on that tree...I wonder if it's possible to drag a ladder in there?
