It's been 7 years now, but you might remember a certain film, based on a certain book, about a certain guy, who was right into a certain flower. The flower was the ghost orchid, and it's on something of a blooming streak in Florida:
A rare ghost orchid is blooming for the third straight year at a southwest Florida nature preserve.
The flower's sighting at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples this year is unusual because the ghost orchid rarely blooms more than two years in a row.
The blooms are about 50 feet up an old cypress tree and can be seen from a boardwalk. Two telescopes help visitors see the blooms - nine of which were visible Sunday.
The ghost orchid has been featured in the nonfiction book "The Orchid Thief" and the fictional movie spinoff "Adaptation." It was first spotted in at the sanctuary in 2007 after a 12-year-abscence from the park. (Source)
