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.

Bibliography on water-related orchid Sobralia macrantha, Lirio de San Juan |
Terrestrial orchids and water-related orchids of GuatemalaEver since I found a water-associated orchid at Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo in October 2018, I have become interested in any and all orchids which like to grow along the shore, or on floating masses of reeds away from the shore. Plus I am also interested in terrestrial orchids. Sobralia macrantha is a typically adaptive orchid: it can live on tree trunks, on rocks which have appropriate plant material already on them, and on the ground. Our long range goal is to make a list of all terrestrial orchids and all water-associated orchids (rivers, lakes, swamps, bogs, etc) that may be expected in the diverse eco-systems of Parque Nacional Yaxha Nakum Naranjo, Peten, Guatemala. In other words, can Sobralia macrantha be found here? If you would like to join our search, either in-person on a field trip, or via your computer (from video and photos that we can send you), your donations will really help our field work to find terrestrial and water-related orchids. Although there are exposed bedrock and other exposed limestone areas in the park, I do not expect to find many lithophytic orchids, but we will be on the lookout for them.
