They grow best along fences, sides of buildings, anywhere they can cling and climb. These orchids bloom several times a year given ample sunlight. Flowers are borne on tall upright stalks containing many blooms on a single inflorescence. The pink rose colored flowers have a glisteny sheen joyfully sparkling in the sunshine. As my traveling companions and I enjoy yet another outing, we spy a lone two-toed sloth high in the tree canopy.
Sloths move so slowly their movements are nearly indiscernible.
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.
