Good grief what pictures.  That Eucryphia is a sight to behold, never heard of it. Is it in cultivation?

I'm surprised you are not combing the mountains around Denver while you wait.

When you recuperate from jet lag it would be interesting if you could comment on the pics I posted for you. 

Where next?

One plant of Rhodophiala and so many flowers and then the Nassauvia,
which seems never to stop flowering!

great stuff! i've just started looking .... chile has a great flora! and, it seems a population with some people very interested in it--there are lots of good sites on the flora..
the Viola is wild! how big is it? i cant tell if its a small rosette with tiny flrs, or a huge rosette with average sized flowers..
