Restoring native orchids throughout Southeast Florida.

@sarahefeng @NYTGames @thegridkid Apparently botany doesn’t exist either… all orchids are monocots :)

Today’s Florida Master Gardener Volunteer mentoring session included a lesson on hand pollinating Vanilla pompona. Good timing! @HortUrban

Site visit at Deerfield Arboretum preparing for September installation. So pretty!

@TheMathersFoun1 @BCSouthCampus @HortUrban @millionorchid It is Oncidium ensatum, a Florida native. They are terrestrials, planted under a large oak tree. Dr Downing @millionorchid recommends P668 for both germination and replates of OE. Photos show installation in 2019 (behind a row of spathoglottis) and seed pods in 2022.

@NatlParkService In my family we called this “Daddy duty.” At 6’7” I was very good at it!

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

@NeydsonEloy @PetrovichBilly Do you know what species this is? I have one and I lost the tag. Thx

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

@astrojaguar @BetterGro Agree! Recently snagged four Lc. Dinard 'Blue Heaven' one of the best blue hybrids ever

Great morning installing Encyclia tampensis and Epidendrum nocturnum in Stunson Nature Trail today. Beautiful spot!

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

Amazing Trichocentrum undulatum in bloom at Fairchild research greenhouse this morning!

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

I’m working on a talk called “Landscaping with Orchids.” The audience is gardeners, not orchid specialists. So, orchids for patios, screened pools, palms, terrestrials, etc. Any awesome photos to share? How do you use the gorgeous flowers shown here every day in your landscape?

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

Fun day installing 150 Encyclia tampensis seedlings with four Florida Master Gardener Volunteers guiding many Rio Vista friends and neighbors. ⁦@HortUrban⁩ ⁦@millionorchid⁩

One of the highlights of my recent trip was talking about Yellowstone’s native orchids with Ranger Harlan. Congratulations on achieving this milestone!

[Yellowstone National Park @YellowstoneNPS]

Congratulations to Ranger Harlan Kredit on his 50th summer in Yellowstone! His knowledge of Yellowstone’s history and resources have helped him become one of the most effective rangers in the park’s history! Have a story or photo of Ranger Harlan? Share it below!

[Broward Native Orchids @BrowNatOrchids]

@YellowstoneNPS Congrats! I spent some time in late May searching for Calypso bulbosa and Ranger Harlan was a huge help. Sadly all the colonies we knew about were still buried under snow. My best memento of the trip is the Junior Ranger badge he awarded to me for my noble quest! 😀

The ghost orchid (Dendrophylax lindenii) is a sight to behold with its thin, delicate tendrils that appear to be floating, hence its common name.

👉Come observe this incredible ghost orchid on display outside the LaGrippe Orchid Garden.

Many Florida Master Gardener Volunteers came to help Garden Club of Coral Springs install native orchids at Sandy Ridge Sanctuary. Showers blew through to cool us all off 😀 @HortUrban
