From the Author:
When I was a boy, one day my father came home from a trip to the Florida Everglades. On the back seat and floor of his Model T Ford was an eight-point buck , a wild bearded turkey gobbler and from a fallen cypress tree, a strange plant with long sharp horns and hundreds of magnificent tiger spotted yellow-green flowers, a Cyrtopodium orchid. The sharp needle pointed horns stuck my finger and it must have infected my life with an incurable disease known as "Orchid Fever".
As I look into our orchid houses of over a million plants, I wonder what would have happened if many years ago my father had not brought the orchid back from the Florida cabbage swamps to make peace with my mother for filling her brand new three door icebox with wild game.
