Field Notes

Description:

Esta linda planta apareció cuando empezamos a vagar sin rumbo por el parque; nos habíamos perdido de número, y no sabíamos qué rumbo tomar. Mi hermano se había empeñado en escalar una enorme roca, y mis papás lo vigilaban. Entonces, me topé con estas bolitas pinchudas.

Habitat:

Parque metropolitano, cerro en el centro de la capital.

Notes:

Aunque la última foto parezca ladeada, es así como me encontré con estas ramificaciones. Los árboles que se ven al fondo dan testimonio de aquello.

Glad I could help. It is always fun to make connections and learn something new.
Wow! Thank you, Joan! Your help was very useful! Thanks to you, I have now a relationsip between some kind of plant native to Chile, and the species you suggested me. Well, It isn´t a yuccifolium; but, as you said, it was of the same familly! Here in Chile, we call it: Chupalla. Thank you for your help!
The bloom looks very much like eryngium yuccifolium. I don't know if it is, but it might be in the same family. http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=ERYU
Reminds me of the milkweed we have here in the US
