estación seca, I kinda had the same impression about the dichotomas. But then I dig some digging into their distribution... and it seems like some of them grow in summer rain areas.

u bada, thanks! That's neat that you do landscape design in the area! Have you attached any orchids to any of your clients' trees?

You're right that many, if not most, orchids prefer to grow on some rough textured bark. But there plenty of orchids that have no problem growing on smooth bark. For example... here are the roots of a Dendrobium Discolor x Canaliculatum growing on my Pachypodium lamerei. I also have quite a few orchids growing on a Crassula.

Some orchids actually grow on Aloes in nature. In this gallery I created on flickr... Orchids Growing on Cactus/Succulents... you can see a zoomed out shot of an Angraecum chamaeanthus growing on an Aloe arborescens. Here's the zoomed in shot. As I note in my list of natural orchid hosts... Mystacidium capense has also been found growing on Aloe arborescens.

But it certainly can be risky for some Aloes if the orchid gets so large that it creates a microhabitat humid enough to germinate Playtceriums. The ideal Aloe host though would have multiple trunks and lots of accessible branches. So the loss of any single trunk or branch via rotting wouldn't result in the loss of the entire host.

That front yard competes in interest with the succulents collection at the New York Botanical Garden. Wow, what a yard. You must get tons of hummers.
