Passionflower Vine
Kapnick Brazilian Garden
Passiflora foetida
Gently entangled from the trees at the edge of the Kapnick Brazilian Garden, this pretty vine is named 'foetida' for its fetid and unpleasant odor when its leaves are crushed. Passiflora foetida is also known to host the larval stage of the Gulf fritillary and be a source of nectar.

Ghost Orchid
The Sonne Family Ghost Orchid Boardwalk
Dendrophylax lindenii
The world-renown Ghost Orchid is blooming again at Naples Botanical Garden! The subject of several books and film, this rare native species is coming into its own in the Smith Uplands Preserve, off The Sonne Family Ghost Orchid Boardwalk. Make sure to look for pond apple trees, and a bit over the water line to see this elusive beauty. The Ghost Orchid is named for its lack of leaves, giving the bloom the look of floating in the air, untethered. These orchids are young and bloom very sporadically - please feel free to call ahead at 239.643.7275 if planning a special visit.
Tiger Orchid
LaGrippe Orchid Garden
Grammatophyllum speciosum
A native of the tropical regions of Asia, this orchid is listed as one of the largest in the world. Of the two specimens at Naples Botanical Garden, the one nestled under the Hong Kong Orchid Tree is expected to bloom again very soon!
