My father grows orchids - often goes trekking up the Andes with my mum in tow looking for specimens.

It's a good thing I just take the photos. Otherwise the plants would all look sickly. My better half is the grower.
Got any photos of your dad's plants?

Beautiful orchid! Thanks for sharing the pic with us! There is a famous orchid farm in the Chiriqui province of Panama Republic; it is called "The Dracula Farm", owned by the Maduro Family. It is called Dracula because it is the house for their creation, the "Dracula Orchid": one fantastic and beautiful specimen. It is a black little devil with fangs :) Will try to get a photo---Hugs,
