Paul,
Sorry, but this is an exotic species, eulophia graminea, from southeast Asia! Look at http://www2.fiu.edu/~kopturs/pubs/Eulophiananoj_14-3_2008.pdf for an article on this orchid. There is one flowering now at the drive up ramp of the old Miracle Center (Marketplace) on Coral Way near 32 Ave. I saw it yesterday on the way to the gym. Last year, in the mulch at the nearby Staples, it was blooming. At that time I couldn't figure out what kind it was...
