  • A colony of three birds orchids accidentally stumbled into in a dense forest in Suwannee County, Florida.
    Three Birds Orchid (Triphora trianth..ora)
  • By the time I saw my first Rickett's noddingcaps orchid, It had already flowered and gone to seed. A good key to identifying this species is the underside of the heart-shaped leaves. If they are green - they you probably have this orchid.
    Rickett's Noddingcaps (Triphora rick..tii)
  • The leaves of Craighead's noddingcaps are very distinct, and easily identified - green on top, and purple underneath.
    Craighead's Noddingcaps (Triphora cr..dii)
  • This is one of those orchids that  I just can't seem to get the timing right on catching it in flower. Shown here is the split seedpod, with all seeds already blown away by the wind.
    Craighead's Noddingcaps (Triphora cr..dii)
  • A single flower of the three birds orchid singled out, showing the other two wilted flowers still on the stalk.
    Three Birds Orchid (Triphora trianth..ora)
  • This odd looking orchid is very common in Southwest Florida and for years I didn't even know it was an orchid, but rather some strange fungus in my flowerbeds. The gentian noddingcaps flourishes in damp eucalyptus or cypress mulch - where summer rains keep it hot and steamy.
    Gentian Noddingcaps (Triphora genian..des)
  • Craighead's noddingcaps just about to bloom. The heart-shaped leaves have a rich, velvetly purple underside - a key identification factor in these tiny and very rare terrestrial orchids.
