Epiphytic Orchid Blooming on Costa Rican Cliff Tree

by Hazel Murillo

Bright midmorning sun illuminates a vibrant orchid clinging to the rough, moss-covered bark of a rainforest tree perched on a salt-sprayed cliff edge in Costa Rica. The flower displays delicate white petals with a striking magenta center, standing out against the deep green of surrounding ferns and hanging vines. Wet air from the wet season leaves a sheen on the leaves, while salt crystals glint faintly on the tree's surface near the jagged rock face below. Layers of dense tropical foliage recede into a hazy blue distance, showing the height and isolation of the bloom. One dewdrop rests on the tip of a nearby leaf, catching the direct light.
