I remember we saw those lips, they called them Hot Lips, on the Costa Rica Biennial. It was on that aerial tram ride but I forget the name of the park.

So many species,

so little time.

Great thread Jerry, Thanks for sharing.

Came across single-bulb specimens of the Dove Orchid for sale while attending Green Thumb Fest in St. Pete today. Had to pass up on the opportunity though.
