Alpine daisy, growing near Papallacta, Pichincha Province. I have no clue as to the exact identity of this flower, but what I can say about it is that it’s never found below about 3,000 meters of elevation. Papallacta itself is an extinct volcanic crater, and reknowned for its hot springs. This daisy is considered a weed plant, and is found in great abundance in farmers’ pastures.
