NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - A rare ghost orchid has been found growing high in an old cypress tree in a southwest Florida nature preserve.
The endangered flower made famous in the nonfiction book "The Orchid Thief" and the fictional movie spinoff "Adaptation" is about 45 feet off the ground in a tree at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples.
Two visitors looking for owls on Saturday spotted it about 150 feet from the sanctuary's boardwalk. It can be seen only with binoculars and good lighting.
