Ecuador is full of surprises and history everywhere you go but the geographic diversity of it's equatorial location provide for seemingly endless plant life. I really appreciated the warmth and beauty of these flower pots mounted on the wall during an otherwise damp and rainy day. The painterly color scheme and asymmetric design reflect someone's artistic knack for decoration.

One of the top five sites to visit in Ecuador is Cotopaxi National Park and one of the most romantic places to stay once you get there is Hacienda San Agustin De Callo. This cozy hacienda has architecture dating back to the 15th Century and is a fascinating mix of Inca Imperial and Spanish Colonial styles. These flower pots are just a tiny snapshot of the boundless and ever changing beauty that Hacienda San Agustin De Callo and the Cotopaxi region have to offer.
