Spectacular landscapes, moon-like.

The red flowered between Calceolaria and Oxalis  looks like Viviania (nice name, it stuck in my memory...).

Hello Hoy, as usual I'm impressed with your mountaineering. Do you have altitude estimates of where your photos of plants were pictured? Did you feel high altitude sickness along the way? Congratulations
