Orchid Hunting in New Jersey

Orchid Hunting in New Jersey

We had a fantastic day adventuring in the pine barrens with orchid and rare plant fanatic Lord Whimsy on Sunday. It was a rainy, cool spring day, but that didn’t dampen our rare plant finding enthusiasm one bit. Whimsy, his wife Lady Pink and friend Bill were joined by Audrey, Norm, Heather, Brandy and me. Here is a video and some photos of the day. See the whole set of pretty photos here.

    I truly need some professional help. Thanks for the intervention.

    By the way: Norm did wind up finding some nodding trillium on the other side of the trail.

    Lisa RG: they are chipmunk eggs.

    hehe! I was thinking about Adaptation, too. “Don’t get eaten by crocodiles!” I was thinking.

    Spring season looks lovely out there. That specific, electric green!
