If the Cayman Islands had a casino; especially ~~~

~~~ Grand Cayman (3-island chain includes Little Cayman and Cayman Brac), this orchid, Schomburgkia albopurpurea, would be depicted on a chip since it is native to that one island... and, though the plant is also found both off shore in Jamaica, and as far east as the Southern Bahamas, those plants are not considered being of the true species as are not those plants found on the other two Islands in the Cayman chain.

Though the Schomburgkia can grow huge; covering an area the size of a compact car, this albopurpurea (white/purple bloom) stays about 6-inches, square as seen below. It is now in spike and producing buds.
