This is a native orchid, Encyclia tampensis. It has a very subtle beauty, and a surprisingly fragrant flower. My friend said this one fell out of a tree on her property last fall (when it was finished blooming), so she picked it up and put it up nearer to her house where she could enjoy it. The flowers are only about the size of a US quarter. Here is a closeup...
Here is a picture a little further away. I put it on the trunk of our car since it provide a nice dark background to contrast against the orchid.
