On a recent excursion to Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest mountain at 2,500 metres ,, a proliferation of orchids in full bloom. The white one with red & yellow labellum was a Dendrobe, the pale green & rust I'd hazard Coelogyne, the pendulous one with the turgid rostellum ,,, I have no idea. The temperature in Chiang Mai was 27° C, atop the mountain at 11:00 am was perhaps 7° C, blazing sun ,, no wind.

Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet—a country about the size of Nevada that’s home to more than twice the number of plant and animal species as the United States and Canada combined. Yet its wild spaces—rich in gold, timber, and fertile soil for large-scale agriculture—are also among the world’s most threatened. In 2008, when Ecuador became the first country in the world to enshrine a revolutionary concept called the “rights of nature” in its constitution, conservationists gained perhaps their most powerful tool for protecting wild spaces. Today, that tool is being put to the test as advocates race to preserve habitats and the remarkable species they support.

summer is for botanizing
warm up in the garden
runs inspired by orchid sightings
the lush green, and the warming sun
cool down walks with Toad

Tipularia discolor - Cranefly orchid
Yesss, native orchid blooming time! I love these, and they're not easy to spot. They're spikes of small flowers, brown against the leaf litter, and they don't even have leaves in summer. But they're so special.

Pink lady slippers, Cypripedium acaule. They’re even more interesting now that I have a few tropical slipper orchids!
I’ve taken so many pictures of native wildflowers in the last few weeks and posted very few. Just take my word for it: they’re still out there. 🌿🌸
