Tropical Gardening: Peru’s history, palms and epiphytes make it amazing to visit

We just returned from Peru, where we were participating in an International Palm Society event. It was focused on native palms of the Peruvian Amazon and Andes. However, the orchids, bromeliads and ancient culture were fascinating as well. We were also impressed with the Peruvian open friendliness that is akin to our aloha.
