  • A large southern tuberculed orchid found growing hidden in the woods in Citrus County, Florida. Were it not for the sunlight on the tiny flowers, I might have missed this one! After a quick search, I found dozens of these nearby among the ferns.

  • The Chapman's fringed orchid found growing in a quiet untouched area in North Florida while searching for pitcher plants. This unexpected find was a pleasant surprise and also one of the biggest of this kind I've ever seen.
    Chapman's Fringed Orchid (Plantanthe..nii)
  • A massive specimen of the Chapman's fringed orchid in the Apalachicola National Forest growing next to a small water pool in the edge of a pine stand. These are quite difficult to find, and I've only found them in two locations so far. Luckily you can see the bright orange from a long distance!

  • A very large fringed orchid growing in a ditch in the Goethe State Forest in Levy County, Florida.
    Orange Fringed Orchid (Platanthera c..ris)
  • These three orchids were part of a much larger colony of about 100 plants found in the Apalachicola National Forest. Incredible yellow color!
    Yellow Fringeless Orchid (Gymnadenio..gra)
  • These short beauties were found growing along the side of the road in Liberty County, Florida in a colony of about thirty.
    Orange Crested Orchid (Platanthera c..ata)
  • The brightly yellow fringeless orchid growing in a seepage swamp in Liberty County. This is one of the more rare orchids of North Florida.
    Yellow Fringeless Orchid (Gymnadenio..gra)
  • This nice looking little crested orchid was in perfect shape for a photo. Most of the time, the flowers are shriveled at the bottom, open in the middle, and still unopened at the top. The short spur behind the flower is the best identification tool for this late summer bloomer.

  • Detail in the flowers of the orange crested orchid. The flowers that I've found tend to be smaller than those of similar species. The short spur is a key to identification.
