      Thank you Christine, there are so many beautiful orchids at Cerro Montezuma - The host of the lodge Michelle Tapasco told me that she's expecting that a book will be published next year of the orchids of that particular mountain - 600 or so orchids - a hotspot for Maxillaria. We travelled there as orchid virgins - Magical Posted 5 years ago
