Mystery discovery

I have read of Schomburgkias in cultivation around Homestead producing seed, which has sprouted on nearby trees. Maybe that's what happened.

Maybe you could send the photos to this guy for comment:

With all the orchids people have put in trees down there...it could also have been blown into the tree by a storm and it took hold and grew.

Thanks for the information I'll defiantly be contacting that guy to see what he has to say! The plant looks like it's been there forever with all the roots and canes that are over taking that oak branch, blows my mind!
I my best hunch was seeds that became air born which is awesome!
