Fireworks as I buzz by…

Burst of color
A blurry, jarring Costa Rican bus ride from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca to San Jose. I was absolutely enamored by these white barked trees with bright orange blossoms that flew by my window.

Pastaza river
Baños, a tourist trap sandwiched between Quito’s highlands and the low jungle of the Oriente, is a pleasant, pleasant weekend. Though the town itself is overrun by tourists riding in off-road buggies and partying in Western-esque clubs, the surrounding landscape is beautiful.
I spent a weekend there during the sweaty weeks in the jungle. A good meal, a hot shower, a little bridge-jumping session. And more flora photography. See below. Continue reading this entry » » »

Succulent
Wild orchids are in abundance here. They’re beautiful and diverse and even odd. Here are couple of the most common, and also most accessible. Many also grow far higher up the canopy.

We’re conserving crucial parts of the forest and working in subsistence agriculture for a poor community, which sometimes takes precedence over pretty flowers.

Chamrod flowers on Lodi Gardens
In March, the dying flowers of Chamrod, as it’s called in India, cover patches of Lodi Gardens and other green spaces in Delhi. Just another one of nature’s details.

Blooming Delhi
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under india
Spring is in the air
Delhi’s brief period of bloom is about over, as the oppressive heat will soon dry out all but the hardiest flora. This comes from Lodi Gardens.
