Press Release Body: While traveling in Panama recently, Bernard Rothermund and Ken
Engle, developers of Volcan Springs Ranch Estates, a gated community of homes and
condos, were on a search for exotic flowers and plants. They wanted to add to the
already verdant landscape of their gated community, which is located near the town
of Volcan in the cool highlands of Chiriqui,
Western Panama.

They drove up to visit some local nurseries in the sleepy little community of Cerro
Punta which is situated on the border of a huge cloud forest and just a few minutes
drive from Volcan. Cerro Punta in located on the opposite side of Panama\'s highest
mountain, Volcan Baru from Boquete,
a town that has seen an explosion in tourism and foreign real estate ownership in
the last few years.

Rothermund said, "I was overwhelmed by the beauty and variety of plants that were
available."

Nearby, one of the highlights of the area is the Dracula Orchid Farm, named after
the rare Dracula Orchid. This orchid farm raises and breeds over 2500 varieties of
exotic orchids. Many of these orchids are also found growing wild in the trees
around this area. The Dracula Orchid farm is hidden off of the main road and has
spectacular plants and giant trees. "It was like walking through Jurassic Park"
Engle said.

"I believe that the addition of some of these beautiful plants will make the
community even more attractive to the nature lovers who will live at Volcan Springs
Ranch Estates" said Rothermund. Some of the plants will be used to compliment the
spectacular waterfalls at Volcan Springs Ranch. "Many visitors to Volcan Springs Ranch
have been enchanted by these magnificent volcanic waterfalls that are located along
walking paths in the common areas" Engle added.

"Some of the plants purchased from the Dracula Orchid Farm and other nurseries will
be also used to landscape the new club house located next the 1 1/2 acre lake on the
premises" says Bernard. The club house will have amenities including; pool,
therapeutic spa, gym, massage rooms, pool table, coffee & wine bar, conference room,
internet café, as well as a magnificent stone fireplace with spectacular views of
the lake and surrounding countryside. There also will be an equestrian center for
those who wish to keep horses. Many riding and hiking trails are located throughout
the property.
