Encyclia tampensis, the Tampa butterfly orchid, is an epiphytic member of the Orchid family. Despite its small size, it can make quite large showings of the bronze and purple flowers which are said to look like butterflies when caught by a breeze. While this plant is widespread and easy-growing, collection is well-regulated, whether on public or private land. It’s very easy to see why it is considered under threat from overcollection. -- source link
