| I'll be back with the picture...
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the hearty welcome. That was a sad story but perhaps not all was lost. If it was a clearcut then adios calypso, but where there are still old trees standing the orchids will return. My neighbor logged their property selectively but very thoroughly to get rid of a lot of pines that had been sown here years ago. The pines are/were huge and worse than coconuts with the big, sometimes 8 pound pinecones and rotten branches falling out of the sky. They logged and then ran a big sheepsfoot roller all over the openings to mulch in the debris from the chipping of the pine waste after the logs went to make pallets. Last year, in a clearing left by the roller there were calypso! I have a very strange picture from this scene that I will send asap. Looks like I need the picture on the web....I shall return.
