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.

Another magnificent Cattleya Percivaliana species from Venezuela. The flower is known for its stinky smell. The blow up on the right of the lip shows the detailed variety of colors it has. The yellows are strong, like egg yolk and the purples become almost red. Very nice example of this species.
