Dendrophylax lindenii, commonly known as the ghost orchid, is a rare and unique species of orchid native to the swamps of Florida and Cuba. It is notable for its striking white flowers that appear to float in the air, as they lack visible leaves and grow on trees, primarily cypress and bald cypress. The ghost orchid blooms in the summer and has a sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators like the giant sphinx moth. This orchid thrives in humid, subtropical environments and is often found in areas with high humidity and low light. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, Dendrophylax lindenii is considered endangered. Conservation efforts are in place to protect its natural habitat and ensure the survival of this remarkable plant.
