Tropical rainforest epiphytes
Tropical rainforest epiphytes. Epiphyte-covered branch on an emergent Ceibo tree (Ceibo pentandra) viewed from a canopy platform. Epiphytes are plants that grow on trees for support. This view from above shows the canopy of rainforest plants that compete in this environment for sunlight. An emergent tree outgrows the surrounding trees and plants.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Morley Read showcases the enchanting beauty of tropical rainforest epiphytes. The image captures a mesmerizing view from above, where an emergent Ceibo tree stands tall amidst a dense jungle of competing plants. Epiphytes, which are plants that grow on trees for support, adorn every inch of a branch in this stunning composition. The lush canopy of rainforest plants depicted in this photograph highlights the fierce competition for sunlight in this vibrant ecosystem. Each plant fights to secure its spot in the sun-drenched realm, creating a diverse and intricate tapestry of botanical life. Taken near the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this image transports viewers into one of Earth's most biodiverse regions. The rich flora and fauna found here exemplify nature's resilience and adaptability. As we gaze upon this snapshot, we are reminded of the delicate balance between organisms within these ecosystems. The towering presence of an emergent tree symbolizes growth and triumph over surrounding vegetation while serving as a reminder that even giants rely on smaller beings for support. Morley Read's masterful capture invites us to appreciate not only the individual beauty but also the interconnectedness present within our natural world. It serves as a testament to both the fragility and strength inherent in tropical rainforests - true wonders worth preserving for generations to come.
