Couldn't agree more. Thanks for the extra images - great stuff. Really hope to visit Chile someday and see these and so many other amazing Chilean plants for myself.
Thanks for your advice, changed the order in the pictures, and added a couple of images more where context is clearer. Although I always try to place them on the map in the exact meter where they where.
What I love about noah, is that it's not yet another image gallery. It has the possibility that someday it will be a very complete field guide, so I try very hard to identify correctly every sighting and maybe help future people looking to identify a species.
This project is trilling.
Wonderful, thank you!
Possibly my favourite Bromeliad! So good to see shots of this in the wild. The second photo is especially impressive and I would make it your first picture. Do you have any picture of the whole plant/s and the habitat? It looks like quite a view up there & it would be great to see what kind of landscape they're growing in.
Beautiful spot. I like the colour of the flowers very much. Nice series showing helpful details
