Description
This one-day orchid flower was photographed in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, Central America. It is a terrestrial orchid of the Sobralia genus. These rainforest growing orchids begin to bloom at night, and are in full bloom by morning. They begin to wilt throughout the day, and by the next morning are completely dry and wilted. Most orchids grow as epiphytes in tropical forests because of the lack of sunlight on the forest floor.
