Lovely vandas, Melanie and I also love your green anole. Haven't seen one of those around here recently.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one getting rid of Cuban Tree frogs! My pond used to be infested with them but I've captured dozens of them. Now I get Leopard frogs, and Southern Toads amongst other nice natives. The tree frogs are singing out there even now.

Looks like our N. Florida friends are enjoying all the rain tonight. I sure hope a little bit of it makes it down here!

I did a nursery tour looking for gifts for some of my gardening friends, and got some fabulous shots of orchids at a local nursery. Most of them had no name tags, but all had price tags and boy! were they expensive! So I satisfied myself with taking a few pictures.

I have two just like this little Ascda, but I paid $5 each for them in Apopka. They were priced at $50!

Magnificent Miltassias, again 'way out of my price range. Only the last one had a tag, too. Its name was 'Lunatic Fringe' - I just love those names!

Last one was this lovely humungous Paph. It was so big I put my paw in the picture for scale. The flower was nearly 5in tall! You can see the price tag, very tall also.
