Hi there!!

I want to share with all of you an expedition made in my country by me and a friend of mine we where looking for orchids and its growing habbits.

The place is named "El Pedregal" wich is a camp of volcanic rocks made by a volcano hundreds of years ago.

Enjoy it... Cheers!!!

The place is surrounded by Sugar cane plantations and White Corn plantations:





Over here we decided to break in, this is just 1 after the rain season began wich last 6 months, (my friend told me that is almost imposible to get in about the 3rd months of rain ):







Some unknown plants:



Begonia sp.


Tillandsia sp.


Bromelia sp.

Cactus sp. (galan de noche le dicen aca, a este y muchas otras especies por el aroma de la flor y que dura solo una noche)


Testudinaria Sp. (a really huge vine all over the place whenever you find one of this "turtle shel" )


Now the Orchids!

Spiranthes sp.






A Spiranthes over a pure rock




Oncidium cebolleta at full sun, wach out the coloration, in the dry season they have no shade from trees and get a very nice red wine coloration, in shaded position is just green

Oncidium cebolleta at full tree shade


Govenia sp.


Laelia rubescens epiphyte habbit

Laelia rubescens lithophytic habbit (and th corpse of one L. rubescens at full sun over the rock)

Laelia rubescens babies


Cyrtopodium puctatum




Habenarias sp.






Hexadesmia micrantha


Encyclia sp.


Malaxis sp. & Habenaria sp.


Prostechea Sp.


Prostechea Sp. & Epidendrum ciliare


Sobralia decora


Baby orchids, maybe Laelia rubescens



Over there a tree branch at almost 6 meters above full of orchids (we guess that ) but cant identify any of them :meparto:
