I spent very little time on the Cerrado or grassland sections of the Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, but on my way back to the village of Florida I stopped a few times to shoot some of the more conspicuous plants.

I observed new (to me at least) and different species of plants wherever I looked, and even though I left the the plateau the very same trail walked up, I saw new and interesting plants all the time! With the enormous diversity of flora in this park, one would need years to see and photograph [...]

As I visited at the end of the dry season, the plateau was lush and green. Many of the plants species were in full bloom. Huanchaca Plateau is also called Caparu Meseta (Meseta de Caparú). Please help identify it – leave a comment. Altitude: 806 metres.

The Condoriri park was a treasure trove of plant species, and I wish I had several days here, as my few hours was far from enough to explore all the incredible miniature plants growing here. Altitude: 4608 metres.

A few weeks earlier and I would have seen all this as flowers – a beautiful sight I imagine. This species seems abundant here, and is undoubtedly able to spread far and wide with the wind. The amount of seeds per plant is staggering, and sometimes so many are released that it looks like smoke [...]

Grows between the shores of the lagoon and the desert. Here they are about 2 metres tall. Altitude: 4135 metres.
A bush that grows between the shores of the lagoon and the desert. Here they are about 2 metres tall. Altitude: 4135 metres.
The flowers were less torn here at this small lagoon compared to Laguna Colorada. Altitude: 4139 metres.
This salt and mineral tolerant plant thrives here and has generated large mats close to the water. Further down there is only naked shores which every odd years will be flooded. The last time was a couple of years ago when the desert got about 2 metres of snow in a couple of days. Altitude: [...]
This hardy plant grows where the high watermark is, and is thus very salt and mineral tolerant. You can see the salt and mineral deposits to the bottom right. Altitude: 4300.
Grows close to hot springs, and is thus salt and mineral tolerant. Altitude: 4402 metres.
Bladene til følblom kan minne om løvetann når den vokser på god grunn. På de karrigste plassene, som eksempelvis i bergsprekkene ved sjøen er bladene spinklere.
Vokser i stort monn i hagen på plen, i singelgang og langs sjøen, og er en kjærkommen blomst sent på sommer og tidlig høst. Blomstrer godt selv om den klippes gjennom sommeren. Jeg lar den få blomstre før jeg klipper den der den står i tette grupper fordi det er så mange blomsterfluer, sommerfugler og [...]
Sterkt dobbeltflikete og lange blader som gjør den lett og skille fra andre i gåseblomslekten utenfom blomstringstiden. Kan kanskje minne om engyllik, men om i tvil gni på bladene og lukt. Rylliken lukter helt spesielt!
En av mange gulblomstrede planter på denne grus og sandblandete stien langs Trållåsveien – alle nå i blomst, så det er et overstrømmende gulskjær som møter de som kjører eller går forbi her. Jeg vil si at denne også er en super hagekandidat for de som har solrike og grusete plasser i hagen. Velg samme [...]
Bladene er sterkt flikete og krusete og jeg kommer ikke på noen andre som ligner disse, så selv uten blomster skal denne være ganske grei å bestemme. Landøyda er i svineblomslekten, men spesielt bladene i bladrosetten på landøyda er veldig mye større og krusete enn de andre i slekten og den er dermed lett å [...]
Første gang jeg har funnet denne i området, men så er den litt utenfor gangavstand også – de vokser ved Trollåsveien, like ved Gjersøen. Jeg la første gang merke til de når jeg kjørte forbi, på vei til å hente pakke i butikk på Kiwi. En rute jeg ikke har tatt før. De vokser så [...]
Ganske vanlig og disse vokser det mange av langs skogganten av parkeringsplassen mellom Ingierstrand og Sandbukta.

Yet another wild flowering plant that should make its way to parks and gardens, as you’re richly rewarded when it’s in bloom. I found it close to the bridge crossing the river Papallacta. Altitude 2700 metres. Please help me classify it – leave a comment
Altitude 3083 metres.
Grows widespread at this altitude and should be popular in gardens and parks due to it’s large flower. Altitude 3083 metres.
At this altitude many plants have limited heat and energy to produce flowers, and thus all energy is invested in one huge. It seems disproportionate to the rest, as the leaves are so small and seems to have too little surface area to photosynthesize sufficient energy.
