U-Haul #99: Florida - U-Haul SuperGraphics on Waymarking.com

The first Ghost Orchid was discovered in Cuba in 1844 by a Belgian named Jean Jules Linden. Fifty years later, the same orchid species was found in Florida’s Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve. Biologists believe seeds from ghost orchids and other tropical plants in South and Central America were carried across the ocean by air currents and migrating birds until they reached Florida. Within the U.S., the ghost orchid does not exist outside south Florida. For a real adventure, visit The Ghost Orchid Cache located in the Preserve. Florida was the 27th state admitted to the United States. Much of the land mass of the state is a large peninsula with the Gulf of Mexico to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It is nicknamed the "Sunshine State" because of its generally warm climate. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the state population was 18,328,340 in 2008, ranking Florida as the fourth most populous state in the U.S. Tallahassee is the state capital. Residents of Florida are known as "Floridians." The few of us natives that are left are fondly called "Crackers." Juan Ponce de Leon named the state "La Florida" in 1513 because of it's appearance as a "flowered land."
