Orchids in the swamp


It's winter, the time when some species of orchids emerge and bloom in Florida. There are some Habeneria orchids in the bayhead. I don't know whether it's the additional sunlight from a free fall (probably from the recent clearing) or some other factor, but a couple are nearly knee-high rather than ankle high or so.


I cleared a path to them today for the workday next Saturday. I thought it might be a nice bonus for some of the volunteers.
