What is the climate like in this area?

Sorry for the super delayed response. Havent been on here in a while.
Climate at the original set of pics, below the summit of Volcan Barú at probably 7,500 feet, is cool and moist, cloud forest like, but still in the tropics so lots of hours of light. Quite chilly at night, but above freezing (gets to freezing at summit).
Second set posted today at about 4,500', but on the lahar from the volcano which forms a large plain. Still cool and moist most of the time, but gets very dry in dry season. Also very rocky.

I never got around to positively IDing those, but agree the first certainly looks like some type of Lemboglossum. The second picture (all white flowers) unfortunately was not very clear. The last two do look very brassavolae like.
