Our road trip continued to Anton Valley. We went to visit an orchid “farm”. It was an incredible display even though many plants were not flowering, many were.
One of the things I found surprising was the number of tiny, tiny orchids. They could be so easy to overlook.
The flowers on this plant were so tiny you practically needed a microscope to see them…well not quite!!
On the rock wall there were many different orchids, all small.
This lady was very knowledgable, pointing out the different types of orchids with their names. It sounded like a labor of love.
Even the orchids that were not flowering were interesting to look at.
There were also many plant that were not orchids. The ornamental bananas were cute. And the gourds came in all sizes.
If you ever find yourself in El Valle de Anton while you are in Panama, going to see the orchids is a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.
And well worth the price!
Cheers
