Hi guys! Well, I'm chronically ill with the fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue so there's always that. Then, they went and made me moderator on the Butterflies, Bees, and Birds forum! So I spend a lot time over there policing everyone. No, they're great folks. We have a fun time on that forum.

Hi Jim! My folks say hi back at ya!

I'll take lots of pictures of the orchids and post them here for you all to enjoy! When Mom and I went to Orlando Wetlands Park in January with the Florida Wildflower Foundation, we saw some FL Butterfly Orchids, but of course they weren't in bloom. The guides said there were Jingle Bell Orchids in the same area, but they couldn't find them. I'm guessing they were dormant. Our guide for the upcoming trip says we'll likely see: Grass Pink Orchids, Butterfly Orchids, Jingle Bell Orchids, and Greenfly Orchids. If you're on Facebook, you can follow him at "Florida Native Orchids". His pictures are gorgeous! Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/flori...
