Collector’s Corner …
Polyradicion lindenii The famed ‘Ghost
Orchid’, gem of the leafless orchids and among the rarest of the
native Florida orchids. This outstanding plant is entirely leafless,
consisting of a radiating cluster of greenish roots with tiny white
stripes. The roots hug the substrate, pop-ash and pond apple in
nature and any suitable driftwood in cultivation. Beautiful,
long-lasting, large white flowers are borne in succession, each up
to 6in or more, with short petals and sepals and a massive lip,
bearing two ‘legs’, several inches long and a very long spur. A rare
and beautiful collector item. Not recommended for beginners.
Excellent young plants, establishing on cedar twigs,
