Two wonderful Cattleya Percivaliana, a Venezuelan species. I have zoomed in the lip so that you can see the wonderful oil painting like yellows of the lip. The flowers are actually stinky. The top one is Var. Graciela.
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.
