You may want to surf on over to the Florida Native Orchids website and view the new information page on Triphora craigheadii, one of Florida's rarest orchids and one of several species only known from this state. Here is a direct link to the T. craigheadii page.

I've always enjoyed your shots of this extremely rare and beautiful orchid. Thanks for sharing!
I can only imagine getting to see this in real life! As a gardener its exciting to know that there are some plants that will never be cultivated and only enjoyed in nature. It makes me feel as if there's still a bit of wilderness left, and that region of Florida has luckily been spared the onslaught of development so far.
What an adorable little bloom. I agree with Rainforest Gardener...fortunately we still have lots of undisturbed areas where plants like this one can continue to exist.
