Indigenous Amazon Flower
Although not technically "wild," this flower, which unfortunately I cannot identify at the moment, was found in a magnificent botanical garden on the edge of an Amazon rain forest in Ecuador.
An extremely insightful Shuar woman (the Shuar are one of several indigenous cultures in the region), fearing the loss of the medicinal and other plants used by her people for the past 3000 years, purchased 75 acres of land on which she and her US-born biologist husband have created this oasis of indigenous species.
