These large open faced flowers were growing among planted beans, so I expect they were cultivated as well. They were favorites of the local butterflies.

These red and yellow long stemmed flowers grow in wet areas. Here they are pictured growing next to an open drainage ditch.

This cactus is spindly with yellow blossoms.

This tree has a sturdy trunk and purple/white flowers with a heady smell. It's seed pods are long and bean shaped.

This flower grows from a bulb after the rainy season in our area. Some years, the entire meadow is full of this flower. I haven't been able to find anyone that could give me the local name.

This is a native pomegranate, known as granada, after the bloom has begun its transformation to fruit.

This is a local fruit tree called chirimoyo. It provides good shade and sweet, though ugly fruit. This particular plant was planted from seeds in our backyard.
