Indian paintbrush (Castilleja arvensis)

Eretris sp

Very wary and hard to get close to. Shot on the ridge behind Bellavista lodge, where the dirt road made it possible for several species of flowers to thrive, and thus several species of butterflies. Please help me classify it – leave a comment

Bamboo shoot

Fully grown this species is immensely long and slender, and looked like enormous fishing rods.

Bomarea hieronymii

Bomarea is unmistakeble and eyecatching. In a gloomy forest of green, the hanging infloresence is one of few wonders of blossom accessible to us humans – as most is high in the canopy. This is at around 2300 m elevation.
