Ok. We all know the Ghost Orchid hasn't been seen for a long time  Its an absolute stinker to find and it comes up in different places at different years.
Do you still think its out there or are they all extinct?  |

KT, I saw the title of your post and opened it in great excitement, thinking you'd found one! I might not be the only mug.... |

I suspect it is still out there. When you least expect it, BLAM, that made you jump. The habitat is less widespread, we seem to be having atypical Summers and Winters, but it might just find the right place and the right time.

Another member of WAB told me that if they did find one they would have to set up a 24 hour serveillance with a temporary fence and limit the number of people visiting per day simply because its that rare...
I think my life would be complete if I just stumbled on one amongst leaf litter one day |

It has been refound last September so is no longer extinct. Unfortunately this certain specimen had long gone over and was slug eaten. Theres hope yet |

I should think the chances of finding it north of - say - Gloucester are practically nill, tho not being a member of the BSBI I don't know where or when its been refound ..... any BSBI member care to share this info with the rest of us non-BSBI plant lovers ........?

Pauline | I'm not a BSBI member, but it was apparently found on 22nd September 2009, in Herefordshire.
