However, there were only a group of five tiny flowers there.

We found a very big Epidendrum sp. on the slope to the valley as well.  It was as tall as Saul.  

Also there were some pink-flowered Epidendrum funkii there.  This species were growing like roadside pavement.  If it was the peak of the flowering season, it would be marvellous like a very nice pink carpet.  This time we only saw several flowers.

There were various different orchids on a big rock there.  They were some orange-flowered Epidendrum secundum.  You can see orange-florwered and pink-flowered Epidendrum secundum everywhere but the white-flowered one is quite rare.  Luckily we saw the one two days later.

I continued to draw the orchids in the morning.  After lunch, I went to Huasahuasi again with Saul.

First of all, we found a big plant of Oncidium aureum which I drew the previous day. 

Oncidium bicolor used to be called cacca-cacca in Quechua, the official language of Inca, however, nowadays this Oncidium aureum is called cacca-cacca.   The travellers would chew these bulbs for easing their thirst instead of descending to the bottome of the valley for water.
