Prostechea sp. (vespa?)
This is the orchid which was classified as Encyclia until quite recently and is now Protechea. Probably this has been reclassified since, like Encyclia cochleata which is now Anacheilium cochleatum.
It is difficult for me to remember Latin names. Having several names and/or being reclassified a few times make this even worse.
Encyclia livida
Pollardia livida

Gigantic Ida sp. Unfortunately there were no flowers there. If there have been flowers, it would have been marvellous.

This happened on Monday this week, and people lost their lives, lost their children, lost their houses in San Ramón in Peru where I went and stayed overnight last summer.
Weather forecast has still warned that more rain is expected in the coming days. I just pray it will diminish.
