Patagonia was filled with beautiful flowers just beginning to bloom. I have captured a few of my more favorite flowers below. To learn the name of a flower shown below, hold you mouse over each of the images.

The Notro (to the right) was the most common flowering bush during my November visit. It's bright red flowers frequented many hillsides. 

The Porcelain Orchied (shown to the right) was my greatest Patagonian find. I was quite thrilled to find this relatively rare orchid on a hike near Hosteria Las Torres. 

Zapatito (or Zapatito de la Virgen) (Calceolaria uniflora) were one of the more flamboyant wildflowers on the trip. Wow! 

The Palomita frequented the lake side of Lago Skottsberg on the Glacier Frances hike.  

Neneo bushes frequent the steppes at the base of the Torres del Paine peaks. Be sure to visit the Laguna Azul hike for more pictures.
