The one-flowered broomrape (Orobanche uniflora) - I have been trying to find this plant for over 5 years. People would tell me where to look but try as I might, this little parasite has remained elusive. Yesterday I had given up trying to find this species for yet another year and that is exactly when I found it. Moral of the story: sometimes you have to stop trying to see certain plants before you finally get to see them.

I adore this Central American Piperaceae. Does anyone know who it might be?

Acianthera pantasmi is such a wonderful Central American orchid. It amazes me that such tiny flowers are produced by such a robust plant. Thats Pleurothallids for ya!
