Flowers in Costa Rica

Among the many cycads in WBG, this Zamia was in cone. That is a flower, too, right?

In the palm collection in WBG, this Pinanga was easy to take picture of.

Those definitely are flowers!

There is a very large collection of aroids at the WBG.

Here is a Philodendron.

Anthurium made up the majority of aroids in WBG. Here is one.

Here is a Bromeliad in the WBG.

At a rest stop on the way back to San Jose from the WBG,

we saw this flowering tree in the distance.

It's called Mayo (scientific name Vochysia) because it usually flowers in May.

BTW, that is pronounced ma-joe.

Would love to see if someone could identify this Costa Rican flower from a photo I took. But how do I share the photo?
