Thanks Neilen. Orchids love the cool and humid conditions in the park. They weren't planted, I'm pretty strict with what I post and I wouldn't post any that were cultivated. Some of these had been brought close to the office at San Juan thermals in the park for their own protection. Many orchids have been stolen from the park, so they needed to keep a close eye on these ones.

Dude, these orchids are amazing!!! can't believe such a variety grows in this park and flowers, unless they were planted there.
