The picture "Rose Tree" was taken in a median on
highway 11 between Samta Fe and Rosario, Argentina. I'm
not exactly sure what this plant is but the flowers
reminded me most of roses, hence the name.

"Steel Magnolia" is a 10 meter tall sculpture of a flower
located in the United Nations Plaza in Buenos Aires. It
opens at daybreak and closes during the night. It was
donated to the city by the Argentinian arcuitect Eduardo
Catalano, born in Buenos Aires. A hydraulic device opens
"Floralis Generica" in the morning and closes it at sunset.

grow mainly in the wet tropical mountain forests of Central
and South America. Most of the 600 to 800 species are
found in Panama, Colombia and Ecuador.

I took the  picture "Fish Out of Water", in Eureka Springs
Park in Hillsborough County, FLorida. Normally the
"hanging lobster claw" flower would have the yellow and
green end down and this would be the last in a series of
blooms. The floral vistas are endless in this park with
many tropical species on display .
