The Ghost Orchid (Dendrophylax lindenii)
by Chris @ Ghost Orchid Info
… first discovered by Jean Jules Linden who observed this amazing orchid in the forests of Sague and Nimanima, St. Jaio de Cuba in September of 1844. The range of the Ghost Orchid includes humid areas of Florida, Cuba, and Haiti, most likely existing on other nearby Caribbean islands in addition. This plant has changed genus more than once. Synonyms include Aeranthes lindenii, Agraecum lindenii, Polyrrhiza lindee and Polyradicion lindenii with Polyrrhiza and Polyadicion still being used by many sources. Common names include the widely used Ghost Orchid, Palm Polly, and White Frog Orchid.
At first glance the Ghost Orchid is a spider web of green, grey, and white roots growing epiphytically on a host tree. An epiphyte is an organism which grows attached to a living plant but is not parasitic. After the discovery of the Ghost Orchid it was thought that the plant was parasitic but was found not to be true. The Ghost Orchid begins its life as a dust like seed, being released from the seed pod of a mature Ghost Orchid. The seed drifts slowly in the swamp air, and if it is lucky, lands upon a host tree. Hosts trees for the Ghost Orchid include pop ash, pond apples, bald cypress, royal palm, arthritis vine, and more than likely other tropical swamp plants.
It is common to see Ghost Orchids growing near or in moss on the trunks of trees. Perhaps the moss helps catch the fine seeds while floating through the air. If the seeds land upon a suitable habitat it may germinate. It is theorized that fungus is required for the mycorrhizal relationship in order to keep the Ghost Orchid alive, particularly when it is young. When the young seed germinates, it will grow only 1 or 2 roots, at which time vestigial leaves will form on some plants, and possibly not others. These tiny vestigial leaves contain chlorophyll which converts sun light into energy to help the young plant grow. As the Ghost Orchid grows, it will lose these leaves within the first year, at which the Ghost Orchid depends solely upon chlorophyll in its roots for energy from the sun…

These Two Guys Explain
How To Survive The ApocalypseIf you believe the Mayans, 2012 marks the End of Days. But post-apocalyptic life ain’t so bad if you do it right. With scotch. And weed. And lots of animal abuse. In this GQ exclusive, Parks and Recreation’s Nick Offerman and Chris Pratt show us how to persevere. There are 12 steps. The first three are below. The rest are here.
1
Fill the tub with water. For this tub, as well as the contents of your hot-water heater, will be your drinking supply. Fill the sinks with scotch—and cover, obviously.2
If there’s any looting to be done, focus on marijuana dispensaries. If you don’t live in California, that’s too bad. We have marijuana dispensaries.3
Assemble a posse of hooligan underlings, choosing a mix of muscular physiques and corpulent ones. Harvest fat from the chubbies and cook the muscular folks in it. When the fatties run out of cellulite to harvest, they are now prime, lean cooking specimens. Obviously you’ll need to be fattening up new “team members” as you go, perpetuating the savory cycle.Listen up, folks.
