    Oh yea, I should show some orchid stuff on the orchid forum. First up is a photo of the Orchid Inn, Key West. I went up into the premises looking around for orchids, then I spotted one on a palm tree across the pool. Turned out to be a silk phal. Latter that day they blocked off two blocks of Duval and had street vendors selling their wares. There was an orchid vendor from Miami. I picked up a Rhyncholaelia digbyana with 3 flowers and one bud.

    Ann and MJ,
    Be sure to ride the Conch Train early, you get the history and the lay of the island.

    You know, if I'm correct there was no smoking and no alcohol. They consider the train to be public transportation.

    Common, it's only 90 minutes and you can get a piece of frozen key lime pie, dipped in chocolate at the rest stop.
