More Ghost orchids

It's flowering season and the thrill is in the hunt.;) Sorry if your getting tried of these.:blushing: Here's a video of a tree with multiple plants and 3 with a total of 5 flowers, all at the same time. We ended up finding 18 flowers (mostly single flower) I posted what I think was the nicest one. We didn't find anything else in flower except wild flowers.

Great video.
I know these are endangered in the wild were you take these photos, is it possible to reintroduce them like we do with endangered animals?

Well between you and me, I don't think there is a need to reintroduce them. I think the reason the are considered endangered is that they are only in the Everglades area and not because of the numbers. there is thousands of them through out the Glades. I have also come to the conclusion that only about 10% to 15% bloom. We found well over 300 plants and only 18 flowers and another 15 or so in spike.

Makes me miss Mike very much... He would have flipped if he saw five on one tree.

I got lucky this weekend and saw 3 blooms on the same plant.

I get tired, only because I'm jealous I can't get down there this time of year. Nice work, and keep them coming
