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.
Orchids can be notoriously picky plants â a fact which makes conserving the endangered ones a difficult job for ecologists. In a paper published this month in the journal Molecular Ecology, SERC ecologists revealed that an orchidâs survival hinges on two factors: a forestâs age and its fungi. Downy rattlesnake orchid.ll this implies that to save endangered orchids, itâs not a simple matter of planting new forests to replace the ones that were destroyed. If the forests arenât old enough or donât have enough of the right fungi, lost orchids may take decades to return, if they return at all.
