Ecuador Chimborazo 01-06 Estrella del Chimborazo Chuquiragua  [7 of 45]


As I walked around the Estrella del Chimborazo grounds, I spotted this shrub with bright-orange colors called Chuquiragua. It is the symbol flower for the hikers and climbers in the Ecuadorian Andes. It is also used as medicine by taking an infusion to help for kidney problems.
