The sloth is much smaller in size than I expected. It spends its day hanging up-side down. Apparently the three-toed sloths are aggressive. The events of the day evolve as we continue to explore the Rainforest and enjoy our peaceful encounter with nature. At one point in our nature walk, we are fortunate to see an Epidendrum radicans in bloom.
Orange flowers appear as a bright flame.
Attached to a rock, the nutrients of the Rainforest provide food and a safe haven for this delicate orchid. I love the colors of the Epidendrum radicans . I never had much luck growing this particular orchid species despite my best efforts. Perhaps I nurtured it too much. Yet, here in Costa Rica, the orchids adapt and flower with the natural caring from Mother Nature.
