Default LOOK WHAT I FOUND
I found this in a tree in the cloud forest , I was not sure if it is an orchid... The flower was closed .... yesterday it opens ....
I search in orchidspecies (a lot of time) and is a Restrepia ... maybe is a restrepia dodsonii ...
I can't believe how lucky am I.... The flower is beautifull is so strange... from saturday I love restrepias...

Oh felicidades!!!!!

It must be so nice to be able to find orchids in the wild, you don't see much of them in a concrete jungle like the one I live in. lol

The flower is very nice and it's so very small! But, if I understood correctly, you collected it from a tree?

I'm living in the same concrete jungle with traffic chaos... bad air and stress.... but 3 hours from this chaos I can be at the Cloud forest... you can breath the moisture air and if your eyes are good you can find some species ...

You had me scared for a second! Sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion. I thought it was from a healthy living tree... You were doing a good deed by saving the poor little thing! You are lucky to have such beautiful forests near you.
