While strolling through the premises of Hotel Finca Lérida, one of the characteristics that struck me, was the abundant amount of gardens and flowers. Everywhere I went, there was a constant stream of brightly colored flowers and grass. It was like walking inside a gargantuan garden.
I also noticed a generous amount of colorful bird houses too, but that’s another story for another day. Today I will concentrate on the singular beauty of the flowers of this one-of-a-kind mountain hotel.

Snapshot of a spotless garden outside the lodge I was staying. It was the first beautiful sight I saw when I opened the front door. Compared to Panama City, I was floating in heaven. Take notice of the fireplace outside the suite. There’s another one similar to this one inside the lodge. Photo by ©Omar Upegui R.

This is the first flower delivery. If you are a flower lover, please return tomorrow because there are more stunning photographs of tropical flowers in the works. Good Day.
Now you know why I love visiting Boquete. We are so lucky to have family there. Love the photos! The groundskeepers are doing fantastic work.

Morning Jim and Nena:
I can imagine how proud Nena must be enjoying the pictures of her birthplace. Yep, It’s an incredible town, no question about that.

It’s amazing how many flowers there do well here – although here they’re often annuals and a little touchier. I see begonias, daylilies, vinca, and that blue thingie whose name I don’t remember. It looks like there might be some callas there, too.
Beautiful grounds!
Morning Linda:
I’m sorry, but I’m not an expert on flowers. I only enjoy their shapes and mesmerizing colors. There are more pictures of flowers tomorrow.
This place is absolutely fantastic. I’m still in awe with what I saw up there in the mountains.
Enjoy the day in the great state of Texas,
Omar.-
Morning!
I was rereading the posts on your trip and spotted the comment on the fireplace. Folks are often surprised to see a fireplace in the “topics”. Then when they visit there, and the sun goes behind the mountain, they suddenly understand just how welcome that fireplace can be! haha
I will reread the other posts now to see what I missed while looking at the photos.
Are you shooting with your DSLR or the point and shoot? The photos are beautiful.

Morning Jim and Nena:
When I arrived at the hotel about seven o’clock in the evening, it was raining and the temperature was very cold. I was ushered to the checking counter and in that room there was a warm crackling fireplace. Living at sea level in Panama City at relatively high temperatures, it was a blessing to find a fireplace at the Reservation Lobby. Later I found out, my room had two fireplaces; one inside and the other in the porch. Wow! I felt like His Majesty Louis XVI.
Tomorrow I’ve included pictures of a large fireplace, just because you asked for it my friend.
I used both cameras, since both have its pros and cons. The Canon PowerShot A720 IS is light and compact and easy to carry around but the quality is not superb and the Canon Rebel EOS DSLR T2i takes excellent pictures but is quite heavy and bulky.
I’m glad you are enjoying the pictures. So am I, after taking a second, third and sometimes fourth look at them. I love photography!
Take Care,
Omar.-
