Ferocactus latispinus is a species from Mexico that blooms very early and reaches forty centimeters in diameter.

The column of the flowers of Ornithocephalus myrticola resembles the head of a bird, therefore the name of the genus. Their tiny flowers are just like birds showing off or getting ready to fly.

I am a Brazilian Architect graduated at Universidade de São Paulo, who have been working with garden plants, and mostly orchids, which I started to grow in 76, during the last 20 years. I am an authorized taxonomist of American Orchid Society and of Orchid Conservation Coalition. I am one of the reviewers of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - World Checklist of Monocotyledons. I have published a number of articles on Selbyana, Orchids Magazine, and some other journals, but I am more interested in publishing easily available on line free articles, rather than publishing on paper.

I am not a native English speaker therefore my grammar may seems odd sometimes, I will need assistance of native ones after I finish the articles I will work on. I am ready to help whenever Portuguese articles are allowed here. I am also ready to translate any documentation pages to Portuguese.

Template:TOC-right Classical music has been one of my hobbies during the last 30 years so I am able to contribute on articles about this subject too.
