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 orchid family (aka Orchidaceae) is the largest flowering plant family on earth with about 30,000 species. It is also one of the oldest plant families â developing about 84 million years ago. Being so old, orchids have had plenty of time to develop into very specialized organisms.IP. All orchids have a petal that forms a lip. For the pollinator, the lip often serves as a landing pad of sorts. Most orchids turn in the development of the bud so that the lip is at the bottom of the flower but some have a lip at the top and are called ânon-resupinateâ.
