I'm going to interrupt my spree of Florida trip posts (yes, there are more coming) with a quickie of one of my orchids in bloom.

| Oeceoclades maculata in bloom |
This is
Oeceoclades maculata, which was given to me by my friend Jude after he traveled to Florida for the IAS show
last year. He said that he found them growing all over the place. They are not native to Florida, but grow very well in the south Florida climate.

| Oeceoclades leaf - looking an awful lot like a Sansevieria. |
The plant itself looks much like a
Sansevieria - dark green leaves with some lighter green mottling. The leaves also have thick sturdiness of a
Sansevieria. I know the blooms are small, on top of a tall spike, but I think they are really quite cool looking and have some neat colors to them.
