Here's a lovely orange epidendrum orchid high up in a dracaena tree.

Pic 1: the flowers

Pic 2: zoomed out view showing how high up the orchid is in the tree

Pic 3: the epidendrum 's root clump. The roots are completely exposed to the air, and the plant is happy.

This giant dracaena patch was filled with these orchids. I imagine their seeds get blown around and settle in different parts of the dracaena.

Seeing plants like this reminds me to always look up into the trees when I'm in a climate zone that's hospitable to orchids.
