Botanic Garden and Exhibit of Orchids, San Salvador, El Salvador

Yesterday I went to the botanic garden of San Salvador. It has been hard to find it, I have to say that I had no map so I was trying to remember the Google map :) It was actually funny because it is located in the crater of a volcano that have been now converted in a industrial area (What world are we living in? LOL).

The garden was bigger than I expected and had some local plants and also from some other tropical areas. And the funniest part was that there were a lot of birds, butterflies, dragonflies that are not possible to spot in San Salvador. It was really nice.


Etlingera elatior

Musa coccinea
Syzygium malaccense

Ochna mossambiccensis


Brownea macrophylla
Passiflora coccinea
Amherstia nobilis

After that I have been to an exhibit hold by the Salvadoran Association of Orchids which were showing a lots of orchids from Central America but also from Asia. It was quite small but it was beautiful to see all the diversity in terms of shape and colors of those flowers. Sadly my pictures don't rend the beauty of the exhibit.
