On June 6, we hosted a wild orchid / wildflower walk in the east Orlando area (Ft. Christmas Park and Orlando Wetlands Park). 16 People attended, and we had a great time seeing Florida Butterfly Orchids, Grass Pink Orchids, and Water Spider Orchids all in flower. In addition, we saw plants of the Greenfly Orchid and Jingle Bell Orchid (these should be blooming in August). In addition, we saw many other wildflowers, a hummingbird visiting some Tillandsia flowers high in a tree, and a Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake.
Much fun was had by all!
We will try to do this again in 2016 in the first week of June.
