Ghost Orchid
The Ghost Orchid is a rare and unique flower known scientifically as *Dendrophylax lindenii*. It is native to the swamps of Florida and Cuba, thriving in humid, subtropical environments. This orchid is notable for its striking appearance, featuring long, slender stems and delicate, white petals that resemble ghostly figures, which is how it got its name.
Ghost Orchids are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants without harming them. They rely on specific conditions, such as high humidity and shade, to survive. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, the Ghost Orchid is considered endangered, making it a sought-after specimen for conservation efforts and botanical enthusiasts.
