Some more pictures from Costa Rica.

Here are some more pictures from the Pathfinder expedition that I arranged in November 2022. Hopefully I will be able to arrange similar trips in a near future. During this expedition I found many very interesting orchid species. At Valle del Silencio and Cerro Hoffman I found many interesting Lepanthes sp. Among them the yellow Lepanthes sp me and Daniel Jiminez found in 2010. A new species waiting to be described and named. Here a few pictures of orchids, frogs etc. Enjoy!
