I never had an orchid before I moved to Mexico. Here in the jungle they grow wild. You find them on the sides of trees and on fallen logs.
I inherited a few when I bought my house here.
Over the years it’s been so fun to watch them grow and surprise me with their miraculous blooms with their heavenly fragrances!

Here is my newest acquisition, a gift from my jungle property.
Tree orchid – I found this orchid growing wild in the jungle, I carried this log home on my shoulder for over a mile
I call this my “Honey Orchid” because the beautiful yellow flowers smell just like Yucatan Honey!! My favorite

It smiles right back at you!

This orchid did not flower until I attached a bag of dirt to the bottom, now the flowers are overflowing
these are plants I am training to grow on new logs, see separate post about training new orchids.
