Flowering right on time for "Día de la Candelaria" (Candlemas) on 2nd February, and hence taking its name, Guarianthe skinneri (Orchidaceae) was in full color on our last visit to La Sepultura. This is a native orchid to Chiapas that also extends throughout Central America. It's actually Costa Rica's national flower ;)
A pleasure finding these orchids flowering in the mountain, and of course also in people's backyards.
