It’s Sunday night, take a break and go visit my orchid blog, I bet you haven’t been there in a while, just put lots of pictures of yellow orchids, including this Epidendrum Renee Marquis that looks almost like it is plastic. Enjoy
The Devil's Excrement
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.

As Marc in Calgary wrote, wow. Beautiful photos, beautiful colors and shapes. I thought about singling out a favorite or two, but was unable to, too many exquisite orchids. Thanks for posting. I added your orchid blog to my reader.

I took a look thru the site on orchids. Si, I do envy your green thumb with them. Do you really use plain Nitrogen to feed them or were you just pulling my leg?
Thanks for this post, grounded me for a few hours. It is time to rake leaves and carve pumpkins here now. Nice to take a break from thinking.

Apreciado Miguel: ademas de disfrutar enormemente tus comentarios politicos y economicos, tambien disfruto mucho -o quizas mas- tus orquideas. Veo que estas mas en hibridos ahora y que al parecer has aumentado enormemente el area de cultivo, es aun en tu penthouse? Siues usando la desmineralizacion con riego automatico?
La verdad es que te felicito…
Un abrazo

wow! Your orchid site looks very much improved, the black background makes the colors jump off the page… and you’re correct, it’s been awhile since I looked at those fantastic flowers.
… gracias.
