Flowers bloom on the desert in the Llanos de Challe National Park at the doors of the Atacama desert about 600km north of Santiago, Chile. An exceptional year with a 50mm rainfall helps the more than 200 species of autochthonous flowers, which don't grow elsewhere, 14 of them in risk of extinction, to spread out a colorful blanket over the world's driest desert.
