Orchid Nursery at Gamboa Rain Forest Resort

   

One of the most interesting of the five on-site interest centers was the orchid nursery.  I had no idea how orchids were propigated.  I knew it wasn't from seed but I never would have thought of starting them on slices of tree trunks.  The hotel produces its own flowers for dinner tables and decorations by growing them in flower gardens and in the orchid nursery.

This is the last photo and blog post about Panama.  I will put some other photos in the Panama 2008 album on the left side of this blog.  Gleaning from the over 400 photos I took during the 5 days in Panama will not be easy.

It’s interesting to know that orchids which were once only available to the wealthy are now readily available to everyone and are grown by home hobbyists. Caring for most orchids is not a difficult task and with a little care you can have plants that produce beautiful booms and wonderful fragrances.
