Ecuador.



Lots of different Lepanthes here:

Orchids in Bloom: Lepanthes, Jewels of the Orchid World

[Leafmite]

Those are really different from most other orchids. Fascinating!

[ronaldhanko]

Thanks for looking and commenting. They are very different, indeed, hardly recognizable as orchids in some cases.

[WhiteRabbit]

Wow - those are awesome! Such interesting shapes and beautiful colors!

I can see why this was named 'gargoyle'....the amazing shapes, colors, textures and forms of this genus is just out of this world....and yet there is symmetry and order.

Thanks, Sonya and Bud. All your comments are very much appreciated. OB wouldn't be the same without people like you.

Beautiful Ron! Some of the best gems are small!

I have to get up to the next orchid society meeting. I keep meaning to join!

[ronaldhanko]

Hope to see you at our meetings. My recollection is that the next meet is replaced by the annual picnic, so get in touch with me before you make any decisions about going.

Ok, thanks Ron!
