It seems no matter where you travel in the Keys, it is hard not to bump into or spot an orchid. These epiphytes hang effortlessly on trees, fences, strings and anything their often-exposed roots can grab. I am jealous that we have had little luck up North keeping the ones we purchase alive and healthy. But each year, coming down to the Keys, we give them a reprieve by bringing them down to a new home and climate that they love. Here are just a few of the orchids we have run across over the past few weeks.
