Cerca del pueblocito de Huayapam en el estado de Oaxaca, M\u00e9x\u00edco es un tesero escondido. Se maneja por un camino de tierra y detr\u00e1s de una puerta se encuentra una reserva de orqu\u00eddeas, se llama, \u2018Orquideario La Encantada’. Nuestro gu\u00eda fue, \u00c9l Se\u00f1or Octavio Su\u00e1rez.<\/p>\n

\u00c9l se\u00f1or Octavio Su\u00e1rez es un guardi\u00e1n de la planeta. Por casi cuarenta a\u00f1os, hab\u00eda estado estudiando orqu\u00eddeas del estado de Oaxaca, M\u00e9x\u00edco. Se\u00f1or Su\u00e1rez ha escrito dos libros sobre las plantas. \u00c9l dijo que la reserva orquideario es el proyecto de su vida. En su orquideario hay m\u00e1s de un mil quinientos plantas y mas de doscienos especies son del estado de Oaxaca . Cuando Su\u00e1rez empez\u00f3 su jard\u00edn bot\u00e1nica estaba tierra desnuda. \u00c9l plant\u00f3 todos de los arboles en su reserva, y las llama, \u201cSus hijos\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Hay h\u00e1bitas diferentes en la reserva. Estos incluyen zonas h\u00famedos y mes\u00f3filo (c\u00e1lido) donde crecen especies orqu\u00eddeas diferentes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Se\u00f1or Su\u00e1rez tiene un permiso especial para coleccionar orqu\u00eddeas. \u00c9l colecciona solo plantas jovenes y las ha cultivado en su tierra por m\u00e1s de cuarenta a\u00f1os. Por a\u00f1os, trataba de trabajar con otros cient\u00edficos para proteger las orqu\u00eddeas de Oaxaca y desafortunadamente ninguno estaba interesado. Casi todas las orqu\u00eddeas de Oaxaca est\u00e1n en peligro de la extinci\u00f3n por el cambio clim\u00e1tico, los fuegos, la deforestaci\u00f3n, y la avaricia de colectores.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Aunque lo visitamos al fin de noviembre, todav\u00eda, hab\u00eda muchas orqu\u00eddeas florecientes. La mayori\u00e1 de especies de las orqu\u00eddeas florecen en la primavera y en el verano.<\/p><\/div>\n

Las polinizadores son un parte esencial\u00a0 del vida en el orquideario, porque polinizan las flores y las plantas crean las semillas. Hay muchos tipos de polinizadores incluyendo las abejas, colibr\u00eds, mariposas y las mariposas nocturnas.<\/p>\n

Orqu\u00eddeas tienen asociaciones importantes con los \u00e1rboles, desde muchas crecen en los arboles. Orqu\u00eddeas se llaman, \u201cparasitas\u201d, pero no tan verdadero. Tienen una sistema de alimentac\u00edon que est\u00e1 independiente del \u00e1rbol hu\u00e9sped.<\/p>\n

Un hecho interesante es su simbi\u00f3tica relaci\u00f3n con hormigas. Algunas especies de hormigas forman una sociedad permanente en una parte de la orqu\u00eddea. Las hormigas protegen la orqu\u00eddea atacando cualquier intruso que toca la planta. Si una persona huele la fragrancia de esa orqu\u00eddea, tendr\u00eda hormigas enojados en su cara.<\/p>\n

Near the small town of Huayapam, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico is a hidden treasure. Drive on a dirt road and behind a gate, you find and orchid reserve called \u2018Orquideario La Encantada\u2019 (Enchanted Orchid Reserve. Our host was Mr. Octavio Su\u00e1rez.<\/p>\n

Mr Octavio Su\u00e1rez is a guardian of the planet. For almost forty years, he has been studying orchids from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Mr. Suarez has written two books about the plants. He said the orchid reserve is his life project. In his orchid reserve there are more than one thousand five hundred plants and more than two hundred species are from the state of Oaxaca. When Suarez started his botanical garden, it was bare ground. He planted all of the trees in his reserve and called them, \u201chis children\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There are different habitats at the reserva, including moist and mesophilic (warm) where different orchid species grow.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mr. Suarez has a special permit to collect orchids. He collects only young plants and has cultivated them on his land for more than forty years. For years he tried to work with other scientists to protect the orchids of Oaxaca and unfortunately, none were interested. Almost all of the orchids from Oaxaca are in danger of extinctionbecause of climate change, fires, deforestation and the greed of collectors.<\/p>\n

Pollinators are an essential part of the life in an orquideario because they pollinate the flowers and the plants create seeds. There are many types of pollinators including, bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and moths.<\/p>\n

Orchids have important associations with trees, since many grow in trees. Orchids are called \u2018parasites\u2019, but that is not true. They have a system of feeding that is independent of the host tree.<\/p>\n

An interesting fact is their symbiotic relationship with ants. Some species of ants form a permanent society in a part of the orchid. The ants protect the orchid attacking any intruder who touches the plant. If a person smells the fragrance of an orchid, she could have angry ants in her face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
