First Cover Photo!
Default First Cover Photo!

I am honored that the members of the Florida State Horticultural Society wanted to use some of my ghost orchid photos as the cover photos for the 2010 proceedings guide (a rather thick paperback crammed full of research papers on various crop and nursery plants in Florida). Here are the photos that they chose:





and here's a link to the proceedings contents as an on-line pdf:

2010 Proceedings of the FSHS.

But even cooler than having my photos on the cover, there is an inset inside the front cover that briefly describes Florida's wild orchid diversity, raising awareness of our unique heritage amongst those who live and breath plants in some form or another.

Enjoy!

---Prem

Yes, this is Miguel's ghost, may he rest in peace. The second was also a ghost that he pointed out to me on the same day.
