This rare orchid is unique for several reasons. First, it resembles a ghost when its white flower moves at night; hence, it is known as the Ghost Orchid. It is also leafless, and its roots attach to the bark of the host tree. About 2,000 ghost orchids remain in Florida, all the more reason to step up efforts to stabilize the current populations.

The different genera include Cymbidium, Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis. One particular type of orchid is the Phalaenopsis schilleriana.
