Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Dec. 16, 2009 One of my goals for this trip was to find some orchids in bloom. Thanks to Don, one of the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary volunteers, I was able to see two. Since they grow in thick vegetation far from the boardwalk, they are hard to spot. I had to take this photo with my telephoto lens.
