Be sure to take your copy of Ghost Orchid by D. K. Christi with you to see the ghost orchid at Corkscrew - or purchase a copy at the gift shop. It's fun to look through the eyes of the characters in the novel as you take in the beauty of the ghost and its particular mystical qualities. www.dkchristi.com
