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. It has a scent emitted only at night and is always found in the thickest parts of the swamps. Some tree climbing and a big zoom lens were used for this shot.
