    Default Some orchids pictures from Costa Rica

    Spent out spring break in CR this year, loved the mountain, flowers and birds there. We saw some blooming orchids, but less than I would like to see

    White and purple Sobralia, growing in the full sun

    Thanks, guys!

    The guide told us that we would see more blooming orchids if we visit in May. I guess the rain would trigger the spike/flowering.

    Well, it's not much I can say after all those nice words. WOW, stunning, bravo sound just right! My absolute favorite is the picture with a colony of stunning bifoliate orchids, I suppose C. bowringiana or something similar. You can send the photo to Orchids magazine... I bet they will be happy to publish it!!!

    Natalie,
    Amey had it right. The catt on the tree is skinnerii, which is the national flower of CR.
