The Flor of Ecuador

All of these are photos that I've taken.   I am surrounded by beautiful flowers!  If you want to help me identify any,
I don't mind if you do.







Hens and Chicks.
























Ah roses, a familiar friend


The Banana Flower I showed you before


The Calla Lilly
???? Help


 oooh, ooh,  I know this one, it's on the tip of my tongue!

Another familiar friend, the Prickly Pear Cactus

Almost positive this is a Hibiscus Flower, these are everywhere.


Below:  These two plants are said to have a reputation.  One bad and one good. The one on the left with the large white flowers can be used to concoct a drug. Once a person is exposed to the drug (a powder I believe) they are at the mercy of whoever used it on them.  Robberies and other manners of crimes are committed.  I had read about it before, but the crimes were taking place mostly in Columbia.

The curious looking plant on the right is
said to have cancer curing properties. 
I was told the name of it is Dulcamara.
 
I think this one on the left is called Wando.
 


Giant Iris's  much taller than me, but then again, I am only 5ft.

Back to the unusual... Not a clue as to what this is.

Not a clue...

I didn't realize that a Poinsetta could grow this large.
