For the third consecutive year a Ghost Orchid (above) is blooming at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples, Florida.
This is the orchid made famous in Susan Orleans wonderful book, 'The Orchid Thief, (the movie version, 'Adaptation,' is excellent as well).
The Ghost Orchid '... has no leaves and appears to float in mid-air when blooming, ' noted the Wall Street Journal.
