Night-Fragrant Epidendrum (Epidendrum nocturnum)
Night-Fragrant Epidendrum (Epidendrum nocturnum)
This unusual orchid has a very large flower that is almost impossible to find fully open. This one was photographed while standing on a big floating log in waist deep water while shooting handheld with a 300mm zoom lens. Risky for the camera and somehow in focus!
