Which orchids grow in the Everglades of Florida?

In the Everglades of Florida, the diversity of orchid species includes those adapted to the region's unique wetland habitats. Specifically, one species of Habenaria is noted for being almost aquatic in its growth habit within the Everglades.1

Additionally, the Florida butterfly orchid (Encyclia tampensis) is a common epiphytic species native to Florida, including the southern regions of the state. While other orchid species are found throughout Florida, these examples highlight the specific ecological adaptations—ranging from aquatic to epiphytic—that allow these plants to thrive in the varied environments of the Everglades.21
