Martin Hingst 74 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Hello, this is the last part of my Amuri series, where I will show some more plants and impressions of that gorge H. uncinata grew (see part IV). A very special atmosphere, with some very special plants rarely to be seen. On the wet walls grew U. heterochroma, a lithophytic species that sticks to the rock with its stolons: The flower: Here the habitat - down there Andreas exploring the wall: Further up the canyon - The bromeliads seen in the above pics are Brocchinia tatei - here a closer view: and inside the Brocchinia: Here the whole plant in flower: U. humboldtii: On the trees many beautiful epiphytes - like U. jamesoniana among some orchids... ...and this little rarity - U. schultesii: Psychotria spec.: And a highland orchid, that comes in many different colours - Epidendrum secundum: Last picture: a pretty caterpillar feeding on a Heliamphora flower. Would love to see the butterfly. Hope you like it! Regards Martin Edited April 21, 2014 by Martin Hingst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince81 89 Report post Posted April 20, 2014 Geesh, amazing pictures. So lovely stuff in this thread. I'm really interested in these two Utricularia, heterochroma and schultesii ? Are they spread in cultivation ? Anyway, thanks for sharing these pictures ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin Hingst 74 Report post Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks :-) Mantas, I think you're right with Lepanthes. No closer views, sorry. Dani, of course ;-) corrected it now. Vince, as far as I know, both are not in cultivation. Regards Martin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tropicbreeze 65 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Very nice country, and great shots of the plants. Looks like sandstone formations. There's a lot of that here and it's great to walk through as it supports lots of microclimates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
