The first two pictures are Epidendrum amphistomum, here's a picture of one of my plants of this rare species that is currently blooming:
(posted in another thread)
The third picture is of Anacheilium cochleata var. triandra... this one is also under the generic epithets of Encyclia and Prosthechea. This one is VERY abundant throughout the Fakahatchee swamps, and also found in the Everglades and southernmost counties...
Gorgeous! I love looking at the wild pictures! Congrats!

Ture Iam VERY lucky to have this here, But its not easy to find them, it mostly takes alot of walking in waist high water, and worring about alligators and snakes. But it is Worth a minute of it! I highly recommend the Fakahatchee Strand State Park to anyone who has any interest in hiking or wild orchids/flowers. And if your extremly lucky you may see a Florida Panther. Man I love this place. Thanks for the comments
There almost appears to be a Epidendrum nocturnum looking species above the non blooming Encyclia. Follow up the tree, above the pseudobulbs to the clump of debris. There appears to be a plant growing out of this region. Hard to tell but the angles. The leaves are very similiar to nocturnum. The plant arcs out off the tree to the left, and right before you get to the larger clump of rubber tree looking leaves , there appears to be a dried nocturnum flower on the tip of a seed pod.
Hey Dave your right about it being another orchid this area was loaded with orchids mostly of that type, at least 75 seperate plants. I really dont know alot about orchids (yet) Since seeing them in the wild I think Ive caught the fever. everyone can rest easy in knowing that I believe in leave not trace hiking. Take only pictures and leave only footprints. I want everyone to enjoy what Ive been fortunate to see. Here are some more pics from the same area. Thanks for looking

Holy crap....that is AWESOME. Seed pods everywhere. This species is know for having flowers that are easily self pollinated (dosent need a bugs help). May be evident by the # of pods on those things. I have one in my collection that has bloomed twice and immediately (1-2 days) lost the flower to produce a seed pod.
Thank you for the pics. All get around here on my trees is Poison Ivy and Creeping Charlie.

s, could be a Encyclia cochleata alba, Florida native species.
