Description
There are not many indigenous flowers on the Galapagos Islands, but the few that exist are most commonly yellow. I saw this flower in many of its stages, from fully blooming to just emerging like this image. I looked up the flower to discover its name and found the following information.
Gossypium darwinii, or Darwin's cotton, is a species of cotton plant which is found only on the Galapagos Islands. Genetic studies indicate that it is most closely related to the native American species Gossypium barbadense, thus it is surmised that a seed arrived from South America on the wind, in the droppings of a bird or associated with debris by sea.
