I got lazy and didn't go look for the name but you are of course right. The one that grows here is I believe Myrmecophila tibicinis, but it has a very similar look to the bloom and I just didn't go look. I have all these names written down but I'm not very good at remembering them if I don't look. Here's a pic of our native orchid, it grows on trees just off the beach but sheltered from spray and heavy salt. This one is in my yard and it is about to bloom again someday. The long branch the blooms come from is about 3' now but it gets very long usually before they bloom.
