    Promenaea stapelioides photographed this past weekend in the Atlantic Rainforest of SE Brazil. This beautiful orchid was growing inside the forest in steep terrain, right next to a big waterfall - very humid. It was quite dark where it was, only receiving some morning light. It only had leaves and flowers to the light side.

    Fascinating. Octavio-most of us here in the US never get the opportunity to see photos like this unless they are published in certain books. Thanks for making them more accessible.
