Default Ionopsis utricularioides

Hi all, did some exploring today and found this delicate ionopsis or Ionopsis utricularioides in flower. This is the first time I have seen one in flower. Real nice day! And a bunch of nice Epidendrum amphistomum or dingy-flowered star orchid. Thanks for looking.

It is lucky to spot these beauties in the habitat.
Are they found in Florida?

Let me guess, should I bring my swamp boots? (Barnyard boots)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
