Flowers from Peru and Bolivia
As you can see from the names I've ascribed to each plant, I'm no botanist. Thanks to Ochoco and others who have helped with names. If anyone else can add the real name just from seeing the picture, I'd be very grateful.

This was growing on a terrace at Sun Island, an important Inca site on Lake Titicaca. The original name of the island was 'Titi Khar'ka'(Rock of the Puma) from which the lake got it's name. The first Inca kings and deities hail from here.--->
