Hello ! Was lucky enough to explore the forests of Costa Rica : from altitude cloudy forest to dry savanes. They have it all, with amazing species. A special thanks to Jeff who gave me great advices and IDs. Some of you might know him.

Those are some stunning photos. Amazing variety of palms, no wonder it’s the most biodiverse country. Love those tall Attalea, and the little ones too.

Particularly wondering what the species is in the 8th pic from the bottom...the monoculture with finely divided pinnate leaves??
