Mike,
They are indeed magical...I like others really appreciate your willingness and endurance to trek into the preserve to photograph these wonders for us! Here's a big  to you!
I'd be interested in going in myself, but it will have to wait until after my student judge test...it's in less than 2 weeks, and most of my free time right now is spent studying...I'm actually on a study break now.  :
Take cares, David |

you guys are totally welcomed right now theres so many I know that are flowered open but you can only trek hike so much some orchids [ghost] that i know where going to bloom you need to hike from the car about 2+ miles and sometimes you're getting beat up pretty bad on the way there and the heat down here in south florida has been crazy its been braking records in the heat here every day I use to get massive muscle cramping but drinking 2 or 3 bottles of orange juice has been keeping the muscle cramping at bay
