The first one is a Yellow Crested Orchid. Jessica and I will be trying to photograph them tomorrow. Last year it was 8/1 when Bob and I found them.

After almost a month absence from the pines because of Jennifer's illness, Jessica and I headed to the location where Bob and I found the Yellow Crested Orchids last year. This is almost three weeks earlier than last year; however, as we saw from oji's post they are around. Unfortunately, I did not see any on our travels today and I am hoping they will show up eventually. We did continue on to the White Orchid paradise, and Jessica decided there were way too many there. She wanted Bob to sweat a little to find some.

No. And I did not see many because they were not in bloom. They all look like the one in my photo. Once they bloom I am sure we will see more of them.
I am concerned about the Yellow unless they were there but it is way too early. Because of that I did not walk around too much so that I did not step on things that I should not have. Maybe next weekend or the next. It was 8/1 when we found them.

Guy, Do you remember what time it was when you photographed the Sundew? I have been told from 1 1/2 hours before and after 12:00 are the best time. I was surprised to see the white blooming but the yellow was really surprising.
Yes it was, in an area I refer to as Bob's swamp. Tomorrow I want to get out to the white fringed. They must be in full bloom also.
