Triphora trianthophora (Three-birds orchid)

Triphora trianthophora (Three-birds orchid)
Three birds orchid is odd in a couple of respects. It is a native terrestrial orchid, but it's bloom time is governed by temperature. Furthermore, its flower stays open for just a few hours after blooming. Subsequent flower buds do not open until the appropriate temperature combinations are met.
