Habitat: terrestrial/aquatic in very wet, open places
Common name: Water Spider Orchid
Blooming: late spring to early winter
Comments: this species bears diminutive, spidery flowers about 3/4 inch (2 cm) across. Reproducing both sexually and vegetatively via stolons, this orchid will often form dense colonies. During the evening and nighttime hours, these orchids’ flowers emit a very powerful fragrance, apparently to attract night-flying moths.
