Picture of a wild FL orchid growing

16 years ago

O.K. today I made a quick stop by my property that 1 day will have my dream home on it. I started looking at an old live oak on the property and BAM right in front of my face were a few wild Florida orchids growing. I just missed the blooming. but the pics are still very nice. Here is a couple but there are several more on my blog. here is a link for anyone who wants to see the others. Enjoy

Great photos. You have a nice head start on your 'future' tropical garden already! I really liked the webpage link you posted. You really have some great photos on there. The one with the alligator and the snake is really cool but also sad! I never would of thought of that happening.. You have some interesting palm seed germination 'set-ups' :) Thanks for sharing!
