I would love to try this.... Let me know if anything is equal off my list....

Go figure.....there are thousands of them here on our property and figured they were common all over Florida. Like I said I have no knowledge of Orchids:) I do like the lil devils though and I would have felt guilty cutting the tree if I knew they were in it. Luckily for me I did not know they were there till the magnolia fell. They are an odd plant...we have huge hickory trees and yet they are not in them at all. They also do not seem to like the water oaks. They do like the magnolias and the who knows how old huge live oaks they are loaded with both them and the resurrection ferns.

Lou, it's just like when they passed the bill that saltwater fishing now requires a permit. That was one of the VERY FEW activities that poor people could afford, take the family out on a pier or on the shallows and fish. Now they can't afford to do that. MOST people - especially people who take the kids - catch and release or most of the time only catch one or two fish TOPS. I wrote Gov. Crist about this, who signed the bill, and his peeps sent me back a reply that I should contact the state legislature who created the bill in the first place. Families are hard-pressed to find activities now that don't cost so much they have to take out a loan, I just can't understand why this was necessary. It's a different world now, that's for sure. I love nature and don't want to decimate the species but give me a break on the occasional fisherman out there just trying to enjoy nature and get out of the rat-race and enjoy a simple pastime - that's not what is going to adversely affect the fish population.

Always wanted to ask this question but have never gotten an answer, I really want to know.
