This week I had the rare privelege of visiting the habitat of Florida's legendary "Ghost Orchid", Dendrophylax lindenii. You may know of this orchid from Susan Orleans' book, The Orchid Thief. The movie Adaptation, which starred Meryl Streep and Nicholas Cage. was based on the book. Dendrophylax lindenii. is a rare leafless orchid that grows in the swamps of Southwest Florida. You have to wade through waist-deep water to get to it. It has been artificially propagated and some have succeeded…

These flowers' white blossoms transform into crystal clear windows.

Use a smartphone or GPS device to navigate to the provided coordinates. Look for a regular hidden container. When you find it, write your name and date in the logbook. If you take something from the container, leave something in exchange. The terrain is 2.5 and difficulty is 1.5 (out of 5).

Monotropa uniflora, also known as the Ghost Plant, Indian Pipe, or Corpse Plant is a herbaceous perennial plant, formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae, but now included within the Ericaceae. It is generally scarce or rare in occurrence. Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll. Its hosts are certain fungi that are mycorrhizal with trees.
