Plants of Costa Rica

The diversity of plant life in Costa Rica is probably exceeded only by the diversity of insect life. Unfortunately, as is the case with insects, seasons make a big difference, and the dry season, which is when I was there, is the poorest for flowers. I did not see a single orchid in bloom other than the non-nattive one in the botanical gardens at Selva Verde. Nontheless, this is a substantial gallery and has many unidentified flowers and plants. Any help in that regard would be greatly appreciated.
