Thank you very much. Do you have any landscape shots of the forest you could add to this?

She was 30 cm above the ground. But where I found it was flooded during half of the year (rainy season). Maybe some plants are the feet in the water because there are also some plants on the ground.

Do you think the plant would be likely to be submerged at any time?

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I would love to see this in the wild myself someday. It's the incredible and wonderfully named Rhyncolaelia digbyana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyncholael...
