As a leafless orchid, Dendrophyllax lindenii instead photosynthesizes with its roots. It is a rare native of the swamps of southern Flordia. Photographed in situ by Prem Subrahmanyam, who runs a website dedicated to the orchids of Florida (click here).
Modern sculpture just wishes it was this.

My first is Max, my middle is J and my end is German for "boar". I'm a student in Baltimore who enjoys writing plays and screenplays, playing in the dirt with fine French roses (who curse way too much), and fawning over Old Hollywood and vintage sensibilities. I post opinions, likes, poems, botany, art, superheros and other self musings. Sometimes post my attempts at coloring comic lineart.
I eat apples a lot.
