Cattleya trianaei & Colombia, SA

[ron-in-norcal]

Hi Tindomul, as you requested, here are some Colombia photos I took. Not the best quality, unfortunately, they were from my old phone which is not near as good for photos as the one I have now.

Some photos of Colombia, unfortunately, only a couple of orchid pictures, one C. trianaei that was almost finished, and others that I'm pretty sure were locally collected and grown by the elderly lady I mentioned.

The photo with the coconuts is in Medellin, as is the tree with the yellow flowers. The orchid pictures are in Arbalaez. The views from above are overlooking Bogotá from Monserrate (incredible place). Bogotá is at 8500' elevation, so Monseratte is over 10,000' up, and still growing tender plants like fuchsias, brugmansia, etc. Incredible country, really.

Wow!! Nice stuff. Those orchids are great. Thanks for sharing! I hope to visit Monseratte some day, I heard its a great place to go birding.

Monseratte was just a fantastic place, we took the funicular up there, a great way to go. Unless you're in great shape and can take those thousands of steps up from the base!
