That is so cool! Its always great when a feared lost species of something is rediscovered and its even better that it was in a new location, such a dainty little thing and it looks so fragile, I hope it thrives for years to come.

What a great find, and right here in our own backyard!!
so interesting... so does this make me an "orchid nerd"?
awww... shucks....![]()
Not sure if it the same plant growing in my back yard. I will take a picture and post tomorrow morning. Hopefully It still there tomorrow.
today I went outside to take the picture and someone pulled it up from the ground
here is a sad looking picture. Anyway, is it the same plant or something new I just discovered![]()
The Fakahatchee Strand is a really neat place. I've been there a couple of times and would definitely visit again if I were in the area. Anyone who is "on the doorstep" would surely find it worth a visit.
Cheers,
Rob
