Epidendrum nocturmum

This one is easy to find in the Fakahatchee Strand. This is a self pollinating and can be difficult to find the flower completely open. They often look as if they will look good tomorrow or did yesterday. One of my favorites. Very fragrant at night.

Reminds me a bit of Brassavola. Was this one of the ones we saw the seed pods on? It's sure a beauty, Dave. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, these seem to always have seed pods. As you can see in the last picture, the pod is already forming.

Great shots. Is it possible to describe the smell? Is it similar to anything we might recognize?

It's a sweet flora scent. Somewhat like a E. tempensis

Great shots! I love nocturnum's spidery flowers. Wish I could find those by hiking around here!
