Has the date been set for the 2018 biennial? I've heard May or June, I would like to know the exact time frame as there is a competing wine trip at about the same time

I posted some of my Colombian biennial photos on Facebook, thought I'd share a few with PalmTalkers. Fisrt is when we stopped for a few moments on the 3-hour jeep ride to the Tochecito site to see wax palms (Ceroxylon quindiuense):

5b2e9080efde2_Day2-07-Lookingatstoppedje

Saw these orchids on hillside faces along the trail. Don't know the species, but the leaves were like hard plastic. I understand that flowers appear on the surface of the leaves near the distal end.

5b2e9084a8f96_Day2-10-Unknownorchidspeci

Second wax palm day. Easier 45-min jeep ride on paved road, then a mile hike along this muddy trail. Some went further up the mountain to get up-close pictures.

5b2e9088a8793_Day3-02-TreckingtosecondCe

Used my telephoto to get a closer shot of the crown of a C. quindiuense:

5b2e908b7d2b2_Day3-06-CloseupofcrownofCe

I became enamored of the concept of living in the environment of alpine meadows surrounded by wax palms. Here are three shots to show this, the first one seemed to be under construction or enlargement:

Beautiful pictures. Nature is a wonderful gift, if only some others would learn to appreciate it as it has been given.

Here are a few more. First up is a huge Manicaria. These monsters loomed out of the bush along pathways.

Day4-04-Manicaria_2.thumb.JPG.fbf3b56fa2

Then we saw a species I had never heard of, Mauritiella macroclada. Here is a small one (nice leaves), and then a larger one looms behind a Euterpe oleracea.

5b2ff33069900_Day4-16-Mauritiellamacrocl

5b2ff32cd20ed_Day4-15-Mauritiellamacrocl

One of the giants of the forest was Oenocarpus bataua:

5b2ff2deafb4e_Day4-20-Oenocarpusbataua.t

A moderate-sized palm with large simple leaves, Geonoma cuneatum, emerges among smaller vegetation.

5b2ff370d91c8_Day5-05-Geonomacuneatum.th

We stopped for a bite of lunch in the launches. A local Colombian recipe was served in banana leaves:

Still more later.

A few more, especially intended fort rare palm lovers. First is Oenocarpus minor. This is Kim's picture, and I think it was taken from a walkway near the lodging at Ladrilleros:

5b330480783ff_Oenocarpusminor_Kim.thumb.

A monster palm that loomed over the trail out of the brush but was difficult to photograph, was Ammandra decasperma. Our guide was excited to find a male fruit bract:

5b3304634247a_Day5-02-Ammandradecasperma

5b330466572e5_Day5-06-Ammandradecasperma

A few of us were taken to see a rare acaulescent Attalea, A. cuatrecasana. This is said to have the third largest fruit in the palm world, after Lodoecia and Cocos. I think Mauricio Caixeta has already posted pics of this one, but these are the ones I took:

This is a micro orchid of the genus Pleurothalis sp

. There are some species of the same genus here in Brazil, similar to this one

My thanks to Alberto for the ID of the orchid species.

I'll finish with some pics of a species that I didn't get to see in person, just wasn't in the right place when a group was taken to see it. The species is Chelyocarpus dianeurus. First is a photo of the palm in habitat, taken by Rick Hawkins and probably already posted.

5b33e0c2c7876_Chelyocarpusdianeurus_habi

I did take pictures of the upper and lower sides of a leaf brought back to the village. Not the prominent silvery look of the underside.

5b33e14b04950_Day5-13-Chelyocarpusdianeu

5b33e0d560844_Day5-14-Chelyocarpusdianeu

Finally, after all the trekking through mud, hillsides, dodging snakes, climbing in and out of launches, there came a time to rest. The following pic was not posed, just a random natural composition, but I don't see how I could have composed it better.
