Schomburgkia, Vanilla planifolia in Quintana Roo, México
I was recently at a meeting along the Mayan coast in the state of Quintana Roo, México. These plants were growing along the perimeter road of the resort, in naturalistic swathes of forest. I don't know whether it was natural forest or secondary. I also don't know whether the plants were put there by nature or human hand.
The Schomburgkia was about 9 feet / 3 meters from the ground. The cropped image is from the original image. It was the only such plant I saw.
The Vanilla planifolia was dangling in the underbrush. There were three separate individuals.
I saw no other orchids.
