      Bixa orellana

      You have 75 tags - I was not able to add tags for the genus/species/family on this plant. =(

      Searches on Flickr do *NOT* search comments unfortunately. It would be awesome if you could put the scientific name in the title or description so others can find it.

      I was always wondering how does it look like.... I have heard of it before as an ingredient in Goya Sazon.
