Greenfly Orchid

[Jcalvin]

I took a trip to a nature conservancy here in Georgia Sunday morning. I woke up at 5am and was there right at sunrise. Here are a couple pictures of my trip.

First pictures are Greenfly Orchid-  epidendrum conopseum. 
I wasn’t able to locate grit portulaca, a type of rare purslane that grows in Cuba and exposed sandstone outcroppings in 3 counties in Georgia portulaca biloba,  But the 2nd plant is a round-leaved FameFlower, which to my knowledge is rare in southern Georgia considering I e never observed one this far south. 

Oddly enough, I found psilocybe cubensis growing in a tuft of grass, too.  

The rest are random pictures one would find in the longleaf pine ecosytem.

Very cool to see orchids in habitat!

Green Fly orchid is native here. Sometimes when a large tall tree falls you can find some on the trunk. A friend of mine had a big oak fall at her place and rescued this one for me, it has been through 2 bloom cycles now since I've had it
