Ghost Orchid — detail

The floating mystery of Cuba and Florida

Clinging to the trees of the swamps of Cuba and Florida, the Ghost Orchid has no leaves: it feeds through its green, photosynthetic roots.

Its ethereal white flower, appearing only rarely, gave it its name and a legendary aura among collectors around the world.

"To own a Ghost Orchid is to watch over a fragment of living mystery."
