An D Smith Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Here I will show a couple of other CP's from the mountain and some other photos. Utricularia quelchii The possibly carnivorous Brocchinia tatei The strange and ancient Stegolepis This little air-plant was found on almost all the tepuis we visited, Tillandsia turneri Orchids abound ontop of the tepuis. This one is so old it is starting to take on the dimensions of a small tree, I wonder how old it is? This is a Bonnetia tree, a very slow-growing plant which is the dominant tree species on most of the tepuis This is a mini garden with Paeopalanthus sp. Here is a view of the summit Martin Hingst taking a photo in the mist My home for 3 days. Because of the lack of soil, the tent had to be self-supporting and despite being elevated it still flooded. We all had an amazing time and one day I would like to go back. Thanks for looking Andy Edited June 26, 2009 by An D Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
