One
of ghost orchids (credit to The news-Press)
I
just read from medias and make me curious about “ghost orchid”
(Dendrophylax
lindenii).
It is because:
1.
Ghost orchid is a rare species, found only in Cuba and Florida
2.
Two thousand orchids only live in the Florida
3.
Several percentages, about two hundred orchids blooming in summer.
4.
Orchids have no leaves
5.
Roots cling to the bark of trees.
What
species of trees which ghost orchids to attach to? Four important
species are:
-
maple
-
cypress
-
pond apple
-
palm tree
A
ghost orchid print, sold by Walmart
It
is believed that ghost orchids are decreasing day by day due to many
causes include over collection by human, but the most responsible is
human development in state of Florida.
The
development leads to destruction and changes of habitat and
hydro-logical conditions.
From
several sources that no nursery and garden centers sell the ghost
orchids, but we can buy the seeds in some nursery centers in the
Florida.
I
tried to search in Walmart, I just found the print without frame for
US$ 11.99 and with frame for US$ 29.99 each piece. Quite beautiful to
hang on wall.
Like
other flowers, ghost orchids have pollinators as well. Four or five
moths species visit orchid for pollination frequently. Two of them
are well known:
-
fig
sphinx (Pachylia
ficus)
-
pawpaw sphinx moths (Dolba
hyloeus)
Did
you hear about ghost orchids? Have You Seen them in Nature?
They are so gorgeous! I have never seen those orchids in nature.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't know them until now, Evi, that you mention them. I have two orchids, they are beautiful, one lives clinging to a lemon tree and another to a wisteria. They are very sensitive and "personal" beings. In fact, when I brought them home it took a couple of years to find their location and flourish. They are wonderful ... I will investigate more about the ghost orchid.
ReplyDeleteBig hug, Evi, and happy weekend.
