Dendrophylax porrectus (jingle bell orchid) found on dead Magnolia tree in Seminole County.

This was posted by someone on Facebook. I won’t post his name here, not sure if that is allowed. His post is below.

“So while at work a few months ago, I came across this small half dead magnolia, to my astonishment it was covered in The leafless orchid, Dendrophylax porrectus commonly called the jingle bell orchid.  So i’ve been watching them over the past few months and yesterday when I came out to look at the tree. I noticed they are in full bloom. I have several pictures of them blooming, but as I was looking around the branches, I found two of them just starting out in life. So the one picture is of orchid seedlings, and with any luck they will survive to bloom with the others. I feel extremely grateful and lucky to have found this tree.”
