Costa Rican bromeliad ID please
Comments (2)not a brom, but a ginger. I saw hundreds of varieties at Tabacon. The most amazing place in Costa Rica. Many are native to Hawaii I think. Here is a link that might be useful: Hawaiian red ginger...See MoreID needed on Costa Rican hummingbird
Comments (3)I checked and both of these are also in my book...but they don't look anything like mine, in 'real life'! It does make sense though, as it does say, the plain-capped are in my area. The 'streaks by the eyes seem much wider and more visible . I have added a cropped photo that might make it easier...which I should have done in the first place. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/costaricafinca/Unknown%20Hummingbird/crop5.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/costaricafinca/Unknown%20Hummingbird/crop3.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/costaricafinca/Unknown%20Hummingbird/crop2.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/costaricafinca/Unknown%20Hummingbird/crop6.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y136/costaricafinca/Unknown%20Hummingbird/crop7.jpg Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreCosta Rican Plant IDs?
Comments (2)The broms with the variegated leaves (bars of dark and light green) are probably vriesias. They will get a sword-shaped bract/flower spike. The flatter broms with pink or red centres, and the smaller ones beside them (in the first pic) are neos. I think the full name is neoreglia. It would be almost impossible to identify the exact cultivar names, so you'll just have to look around at garden centres and on the Internet for others that you like. Picture #2 looks like it could be a wandering jew. Normally they are purple and silver, but if grown in lower light, they will be green and silver. Picture #4 is a tree fern of some kind. Not a staghorn. Looks a bit like asplendum nidus (sp? Bird's Nest fern), but not quite like it. I don't know what the others are. Check the link below for lots of fern pics. They also sell them.

Comments (3)Every march you can go and visit the National Exposition of Orchids in San Jose Costa Rica. I found this site that has good photographs of orchids of Costa Rica and others, http://www.floresdelmundo.com/Exposicion.htm Enjoy !
