A Road Less Traveled

Although Guatemala is known for its active volcanoes, mayan culture and ancient temples, most people don’t realize that it is also large in the flower exporting business. Because of the country’s temperate climate, almost year round in most areas, it has a unique collection stunning flora. While this is just a small handful of images from the Coban area, the country itself is home to over 700 species of orchid. I have not been able to identify some of these flowers, so if you see something you recognize, please let me know. Enjoy!
