Bogota's Botanical Garden: Colombian Plants!

William and I went to a botanical garden in Bogota and I took a million pictures of plants, flowers, and trees.  If you happen to be doing a report on Colombia´s ecosystem, this post might be your new best friend!

Did I mention that the weather bounces from cold to hot to raining all day every day?

Oh, hey guys

My favorite shade of yellow!


Are roses usually shaped like this?

Best color/texture combo!

Coolest cheetah print flowers!

 The littlest pineapple I ever did see!



Official Flower of Colombia

Official Flower of Bogota





 Heart flowers

The spikiest spikes ever!

 Red spikes


Looks like this plant killed someone...

Every single shade of green ever




Creeper action spying on children

So many kids on field trips, sooo cute!

Is this not the tree from Jungle Book?!

Mowgli was here


These guys give Arizona a run for its money

This plant looks angry

This plant looks mean



Who knew that vegetation could look so threatening


This reminds me of the snow monster on that one Christmas cartoon that comes on every year...

Worm-type cactus





On a bridge




Purple and teal, so totes ¨in¨ right now

Broccoli I think?


My favorite red spikey Dr. Seuss pompom tree!






Just some local Colombian ducks 



These huge Christmas trees were the only plant life that William wasn´t familiar with in Colombia... and for one small moment we switched places cuz it was finally something I recognized!



Loving this movie-esque setting...

 Horse?







Coolest house/hut ever!





Check out the bug inside the ¨n¨ 

Ombre plant, red to green!

 Second favorite tree! What are those things?!
