I'm not very far away from there. I wasn't familiar with Paraiso Volcano Lodge. But looking it up, I drive past there probably at least once a month. That area is has quite a few orchids. And epiphytes in general are all over the trees wherever the dry season isn't too extreme.

cool coincidence! next time you drive by the lodge, and have some time, please check out the garden. the owner's name is jorge and he is super nice. you can let him know that carlos asked you to inspect his epiphyte bundles. they are all located on trees in the front yard. one bundle though is on a big rock.

i attached the bundles at the beginning of the dry season, which really wasn't the best time, but hopefully most of the epiphytes survived and are starting to attract all the hummingbirds.

if you have any epiphytes that attract hummingbirds, i'm sure jorge would be happy if you put them on his trees. i love the idea of turning his property into a botanical garden for hummingbirds.
