Quick, buy a copy of the novel, Ghost Orchid, at the Corkscrew gift shop (to benefit Corkscrew Swamp) and follow the characters (photographers) on the boardwalk as a mystery unfolds. See if you are as mesmerized by the real ghost orchid as D.K.Christi was when she saw the first blooming in 2007 and stalked the flower through 2009. You may see her this weekend on the boardwalk, looking high in the canopy for her birthday present of three years. Aha! This year a blooming in time for Easter – the mystery and mystique continue to unfold. Ghost Orchid is also found at http://www.dkchristi.com and all online bookstores in print and ebook formats as well as local B&N stores.
