Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Grammatphyllums are spectacular orchid plants that come from Asia, places like Java, Borneo, New Guinea and the Phillipines. I have about eight at home, three are in flower right now. On top you can see two of these magnificent plants, one with a spike six feet long and the other one with six spikes 5 feet long each. In my orchids section you can see more details and descriptions.
