I've always appreciated flowers (it's not very manly- I know) but flowers have always held a connection to my faith. They are so beautiful. Native Florida Orchids attach to tree bark in moist locations. The Green Fly Orchid can stand the colder climate of North Florida so I look for them during my local travels.
This oak tree is full of epiphytes such as moss, lichens and orchids (epiphytes are plants that grow on a host but don't harm it). The bushy branches up there are covered with plants. A big branch had fallen out and revealed what was growing up above.
The tiny little jewels in God's creation are no less special than the big ones.
