A pleasure
That's fascinating and very useful information. Thank you.
The dry season is starting now I just came back, actually the picture has in the same tree, as you see the first picture was in January, at that moment it is very dry, but the dryest moment is April. The dry season is for 6 month in the north pacific of CR; the rest of the country is rain forest.....
Thanks Jonathan. That's wonderful to see! Is there any drier season in the 'Dry Forest' or dip in temperatures? Just wondering what the trigger for flowering at this time might be.
Hi, Craigwilliams, I just add the picture of the plant.
I will add it soon, in about a week I will go out to the field, So I will take a new pic... This is from the dry forest area, which is a little far from where I am....
Thanks for your comments....
Very nice. Do you have anymore photos with the whole plant in Jonathan?
