It is believed that ghost orchids are decreasing day by day due to many causes include:
- but the most responsible is human development in state of Florida.
The development leads to destruction and changes of habitat and hydro-logical conditions.
From several sources that no nursery and garden centers sell the ghost orchids, but we can buy the seeds in some nursery centers in the Florida.
I tried to search in Walmart and Home Depot nurseries at my town, Louisiana, but nothing.
I just found the print without frame for US$ 11.99 and with frame for US$ 29.99 each piece.
Quite beautiful to hang on the wall.
Like other flowers, ghost orchids have pollinators as well. Four or five moths species visit orchid for pollination frequently.
Three of them are well known:
- pawpaw sphinx moths (Dolba hyloeus)
- giant sphinx moth (Cocytius anteus)
The giant sphinx moth has long proboscises to feed on orchid’s nectar, then pollinates the flowers.
Did you hear about ghost orchids?
Have You Seen them in Nature or somewhere else?
