On a trip down to the swamps of south Florida, we were hiking in an area known to host ghost orchids (Dendrophylax lindenii) and happened to come upon an acquaintance from on-line (we did not know he would be there). Once he knew who we were, he proceeded to tell us of a plant that he saw with multiple flowers in a nearby area and offered to take us to photograph it.
It is very rare for this species to have more than one bloom per plant per season. Five blooms or more is exceedingly rare, as this plant is doing (three flowers, one spent flower, and one bud):
Taken somewhere in south Florida (location not disclosed to protect it from poaching):
1/6 second, f8, ISO 100, Sigma 105mm macro, Canon Digital Rebel XTi.
Enjoy!
