Dendrophylax lindenii, or the ghost orchid, is a rare, leafless, epiphytic orchid native to Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas, known for its ghostly, pale greenish-white flowers that appear to float in the air. It grows on tree trunks, anchoring itself with photosynthetic roots, and is endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. Its pollination is famously linked to the long-tongued giant sphinx moth. #orchids #dendrobium | Orchid Lovers International
