I looked it up and there's a ton of great species there Smokey (listed under Orchidaceae)!... Some of my fav's, I have Den. speciosum, had a few others too but they have since croaked...Hey Waira, We have cloud forests nearby at Springbrook Mountain, the higher parts are often in cloud during summer. I bet there would some nice orchids there, have to try to get some more images up there to share. It is also one of the wettest places , averages around 3000mm (118inches) per year. Peru sounds great with its orchid species, one of the most diverse countries is Colombia . Colombia has the most orchid species in the world with 2.010 species, 1.543 of which are endemic. I would love to visit Colombia for sure, is a place I want to see for its diversity as well as Canna plants. They sound like they are pretty difficult plants to keep alive

Columbia orchid tours are a thing! Just bring a lot of bug spray....
