On April 13, we broke news about a local nature show being put together by orchid fanatic Stig Dalström and filmmaker Darryl Saffer. In the program, the duo heads down to South Florida’s Fakahatchee Strand swamp on a hunt for the ghost orchid, the elusive plant that was at the center of the Spike Jonze film Adaptation.
Dalström and Saffer hosted two free screenings of the first episode of the prospective series, titled Wild Orchid Man, one at Burns Court and the other at Word of Mouth. Well, if you missed one of those showings, you’re getting a third chance: The team has just announced they will be screening the program once again, at 11 a.m. Sun., June 14. And yep, it’s still free. Burns Court Cinemas is hosting this go-’round.
