Flowers in Costa Rica

Here are my best pictures of Costa Rican flowers. The most interesting note of these is that only one of these pictures was taken at a professional gardens. Most of these pictures were taken at hotels, people's yards, or just along the road. Many of these are wildflowers in Costa Rica. Costa Rica exports many flowers all over the world, including "regular" flowers like carnations. In fact, Holland, know worldwide for growing flowers, imports flowers from Costa Rica.
