Mystery Plant

I've never seen a plant like this! It's a mystery and I can't figure out what this could be.

It was likely dropped here by a bird or carried by a squirrel. It's certainly awfully small to have already flowered. Usually plants have to get large and mature to flower (that means it might be a weed).

It's really cute and whatever it is, I'm letting it grow a bit more. If you have any ideas, let me know...I'm in zone 10 in S. Florida.

  2. Zeuxine strateumatica, aka the Lawn Orchid. It's a small orchid that came over from China in grass seed and has found a nice home in Florida and some of the other Gulf and Atlantic states.
