Button Orchid (Dischidia nummularia)

Except that it isn't an orchid at all, but a member of the milkweed family.
Button Orchid is an epiphyte - grows on trees without being parasitic - hanging down sometimes several metres.


other sizes: small medium original auto

A beautifully lit cascade of light green leaves.

Wonder if this plant would grow down from a roof gutter and replace a downspout - - certainly would be more attractive than gutter-downspouts and would distribute the water to plantings below

Milkweed family ... interesting.

That is a very unusual looking plant.. Nicely captured, Don...
