I'm friends with Selby on Facebook and boy, do they show some tempting photos. I need to go there soon. Between the orchids and the bromeliads, I go crazy, too!
Now, some of you know I volunteer at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Tampa. I volunteer in the butterfly exhibit helping raise the caterpillars and such. My bosses have a blog they publish from time to time and generally it's about butterflies or the plants they use. But they posted one on Facebook the other day about an orchid but the link wasn't working. My boss said it wasn't supposed to be posted until Monday so they took it down. But I noticed today they put the orchid in the flight cage with the butterflies so I took a picture. If my memory is correct this is Habenaria odontopetala, but I'll check for sure when they post the blog tomorrow. The butterflies did not seem interested in it, FYI. But it was cloudy and orchids aren't a host plant (aren't you glad for that!) so everyone was pretty calm today. Anyway, here's a few pictures I took.
