My thanks to those who corrected my limited Spanish. A no brainer
as to who was thinking "trucks" when seeing the "truchas" signs. In all
fairness, "trout" is not a high end foreign vocabulary word although I
do know the French and German words for it since it is often on menus.
As for Encyclia (vespa?); so much for three year old memories. A
quick check of my pictures and Withner/Harding "The Debatable
Epidendrums" would lead me to believe it is Pollardia michuacana.
It would have been helpful to those interested in finding plants in
the wild if I had said that Belize and Guatemala were the most
rewarding. Again, the speciation was limited but we saw many plants
in flower (March/three trips) in situ in various Mayan sites, fence
rows. citrus groves and open Park trails. BG
