Flora de la Finca (en Minca)

(If you are reading this from Facebook, click view original post)









Here are some of the plant pictures that I took while staying at Sans Souci. Minca's elevation is 600 meters with temperatures in the 70's. Definately very different from Barranquilla!






These bamboo-looking trees were really tall!


This flower is called Brugmansia. It is a shrub native to the mountains of Colombia. The flowers hang down and can be pink, white or orange.


I think this flower may have been native as well. I saw it along the road a lot.

There are many species of Orchids in Colombia- most of them found in higher elevations.
