Orchid, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Costa Rica


Most impressive of all for me is the orchid garden where the most delicate, colourful, fragrant orchids are on display. Here I learn that orchids are distinguished by the 3-3-1 category: 3 sepals, 3 petals and 1 lip (which is an enlarged petal). I also learn that there are 1000-1300 species of orchid in Costa Rica.
