    AH yes those are definitely some of the weirdest orchids ever! I think the only time I've seen that genus was actually in Ecuador, back in 2006! Posted 3 years ago

        Just that one time! I crossed the border for a couple days when I was in Peru in 2015, but that doesn't really count.
        But I hope to spend some quality time there next year!         Posted 3 years ago
