Bottle Palm - Hyophorbe lagenicaulis and wild orchids.

The orchid family, Orchidaceae, is the most numerous in the plant kingdom. There are about 25,000 to 30,000 known species of orchids around the world. Orchids are found in all continents except Antarctica, from hot tropical jungles to the cold climate in North America. However, some orchids are found only in certain region of the world and nowhere else.
My pictures are from Samana, Dominican Republic.
More than 300 orchids grow on this island alone.
