    1. Another nice one, thanks for sharing! Note that I went with the more commonly used name: Maxillaria montezumae.

      Small request: can you please fix your titles? Ideally they should be readable and not contain strange characters, this also helps in your post being more easily found :)

      1. Sorted hopefully, Ferdy - sorry - for some reason the upload has added to the titles - will keep an eye out for that. cheers Posted 5 years ago
        1. You've done nothing wrong, the title will initially take on the value of the file name or the EXIF IPTC title. Next, it's good practice to improve it by making it more readable and meaningful to people.

          A good, descriptive title is important: it will trigger people to open your photo, it allows your photo to be found using search inside JungleDragon, as well as Google search from the outside.

          A simple trick that I keep in mind: use the title and description field to describe the photo to somebody who cannot see your photo.
