When time and funding permit, each flower (each plant species) will have its own page, and its own PDF, and eventually its own PPT so that professors and students have plenty of material on Guatemala (and Honduras, etc) to study.

FLAAR ethnobotany reports by Dr Nicholas Hellmuth

All these full-color discussions of plants and material on how to improve digital photography techniques are available just by clicking on each image. FLAAR is a research and educational institute dedicated to providing information on utilitarian plants of the Mayan areas

  • endangered animals of eco-systems of Mesoaamerica
  • pollinators (more than just bees)
  • lots of other insects and arachnids of Mesoamerica

Dr Hellmuth was a visiting research professor of digital photography and wide-format inkjet printing at BGSU in Ohio and UFM in Guatemala City and thus many of our reports cover digital photography and wide-format inkjet printers.

FLAAR publications from 2013 continuing through 2018 are on the
vertical areas on the right side of most pages. We are publishing new
full-color reports on plants, animals or insects every two months.
