A whereisbob Contest!

I have a tendency to think that everything south of the Rio Grande is a bizarre and foreign world, completely different from our own. Parts of the state of Oaxaca however, are considered temperate sub-humid climate, and as such I was surprised at the number of plant species that are closely related to those from the eastern US and Canada. In at least one case (Pinus strobus) they are virtually identical.

Here are some photos from Oaxaca of various plants. I will buy a free beverage of your choice to any of you plant nerds out there who can identify these to the genus, or English equivalent common name. Good luck.
