Nice pictures Alberto.  I understand that they make a drink from the juçara fruits like açai here in the north.  Do you drink this?

Yes ,but it isn´t very common like açaí. I heard it is even richer in antioxidants than açaí juice.....

I cleaned the seeds of this Euterpe edulis.

The provenance of this ´´palmitos´´(Araucaria forest) suggests  it is hardier than the ´´regular´´ palmitos that come from the Atlantic Forest. I´ll plant a lot of this seeds in my araucaria forest!!!.... And I´d like to swap seeds of cold hardy palms.....

PS generally there is little interest in Swaping seeds....I don´t know why?

Last year I cleaned a lot of Attalea dubia seeds ( a very tough work) that I found in a neighbor county and didn´t receive an E-mail of somebody interested..... Why??......................?

Alberto- I am interested. I could send you some Sabal uresana seeds( just a few) from the trip to Sonora and I could find some other seeds too. Do you like Agaves? I have plenty of clean Agave colorata from Nacapule Canyon and some Brahea elegans seeds too. Send a PM or something if you are interested. Still have the Attalea seeds? I don't remember seeing that being mentioned. I would have hit you up for seeds then too.

Alberto,

I would love to trade for some cold hardy Euterpe edulis and Attalea dubia.  Please contact me via email if you are interested in working out a trade.

Hola Alberto,

It does not seem that this place is really cold!

I remember to see one Brassavola orchid hanging from a branch of a tree. These genera of orchids love the warm weather.

Are there a rainy season and a dry one or it´s very humid all the year?

I always enjoy with your trips

Muito obrigado,

Carlos

The orchid is a Leptotes.It also grows here. It´s very hardy!!The climate is humid all year, with a less rain in winter.

You are right Alberto!

I am sorry to have rushed. I did not read the titles of the photos indeed.

For the photo, it was looking like an orchid of bigger leaves. I have Leptotes bicolor here and really it is a very small orchid.

Always it is very interesting to see these plants in the wild.

Thank you very much for the information.

Regards,

Carlos

Hola Carlos,

Leptotes bicolor grows in the warmer region of the atlantic forest near the sea,where also grows a Brasavola species. The Leptotes unicolor is tinier then the L.bicolor and grows  at 1000 m or even at higher altitudes.
