I need to move this plant. I don't remember what it is, or if I planted it or it just appeared. It looks like it bloomed, but we weren't here when it did.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Found the answer. It appears to be Eulophia graminea, a non-native orchid that is showing up in Florida, often hitchhiking in mulch. Too bad it isn't something good! I wouldn't mind an orchid but the flowers on this one are apparently teeny-tiny.

This is an extremely invasive plant that you don't want. The flowers are very tiny, nothing fancy. It can reproduce from the many, many babies under the mother plant and also produces thousands of microscopic seeds that disperse in the wind or on the backs of birds and animals in your yard.
Our Master Gardeners are recommending you destroy this plant.
