Dendrophylax lindenii – The Ghost Orchid

Wild orchids will only grow in areas of their particular liking. Requiring just the right amount of light,  temperature, nutrients, and humidity. Even preferring a particular trees bark of a certain angle to nestle itself into. One of the most finicky and rare is the Ghost Orchid.  The Ghost Orchid gets its name as its white flowing shape appears to hover in mid-air.
