Tarija, Bolivia, is known as “La ciudad florida” which means ‘the city of flowers’ or ‘the flowered city’. And it lives up to its name. Not only are all the public plazas bursting with colorful flowers, but many families also plant flowers around their homes. The assault on the senses, with such a variety of colors and aromas, is truly a delight.

Up till now, we have dealt with only one particular plant or animal in each blog entry. However, while preparing a post on a certain flower, it occurred to me that there is a
unique beauty in seeing a series of pictures of flowers all together. So rather than focus on just one species today, we’re going to simply provide an array of photos of just some of the various and diverse flowers we have seen, both cultivated and wild. If only someone had invented ‘smell-o-vision’ so you could enjoy the fragrant aromas like we have!
And don’t forget, if you want to see any of the photos at full size, just click on it.
This is the Canary Bird Vine, and the only flower in this series about which we have already written a blog entry. You can read about it here.
In future posts we hope to give details about all of these marvelous plants. But until, then we hope you enjoy this visual feast!
How gorgeous! Thanks a bunch.
