Night-blooming Orchid
Sobralia cf. fragrans
11.001, -85.2767
Field Notes
Description:
Small epiphytic orchid that grows shoots with 1-2 pleated leaves out of which the flower stem grows.
Notes:
The flowers on this small orchid bloom during the night and wilt the nest morning. It was collected a couple years ago from nearby in the forest. My ID is probably wrong I'm guessing, as most images of S. fragrans I found had wider flower petals. But it's the closest match I could find. If anyone can correct or verify it, I'd appreciate it.
