Pair Project: Orchid Bloom Diversity

Orchid pictures galore in this post! Another mini research project, but this time it was in pairs instead of groups. My partner and I went to the orchid garden because we knew it would be beautiful to see all the flowers. We studied the species in bloom, and whether their natural elevation matched with Monteverde's elevation range, since many orchids originated from other places. A nice part of this project is having lots of photos to share! I photographed 50+ species in bloom, but I'll just share some of highlights :)

More pictures after the break!
