I've just realised that there's a choko vine in the second picture. The choko is native to South America where it is known as chayote. It's actually a fruit but we used to have it as a boiled vegetable when I was a child (although its bland taste meant that it was more commonly used as a pie or jam filler).

I see the two pictures were taken with two different 50 mm lenses. Have you given up on getting the DR Summicron?
Below is yet another color version of a B&W image that I've already posted. Obvious some images work only in B&W or color, but many work in both versions. Moriyama Daido has said that one of the things he likes about digital is being able to decide afterward which version to use, or to to use both for different purposes. Even when he was shooting film, he published a few images shot on color negative film in i in their color and B&W versions, at different times. The most famous one is from Okinawa of a young woman running uphill on a rubble-filled alley.
As for the image below, I like it as much as the higher-contrast B&W version that I posted above. BTW, generally I've found that I've gotten better results in terms of color by shooting landscapes with my Summaron-M 1:5.6/28 lens with color negative film than with digital. Bit I'm happy with the color below. (I don't intend to post both color and B&W versions of many shots, but I have a few more for which I may want to do that.)

Not exactly. The DR Summicron I was interested in buying turned out to be faulty—when the goggles were attached, the rangefinder patches went out of vertical alignment, so much so that the top edge of one patch lined up with the vertical centre of the other. I already have six 50mm lenses that I like (including the two used to make the pictures in my previous post) and the seller wasn’t enthusiastic about having the DR Summicron repaired so I decided to forget about that one and keep an eye out for another.
Regarding the colour vs B&W issue, I resolved it by deciding to use the M10-P for colour and the M246 for B&W.

That was a problem with a Summilux 35 vII. (11871), which arrived a few days before I was leaving the States for six months. The only issue was the viewfinder not lining up properly when the goggles were used. As sending it to be fixed wasn't practical, I returned the lens to the seller. I should have kept it because, after that, I found someone in Bangkok who does a great job with Leica lenses at very low cost. This lens is very expensive when everything works...

Here's the color version of the last image, with some of the brightest light that I've ever shot in, as you can see from the exposure information.

Okay, I won't be shy about following up the last post with its color version. Actually, it surprises me how many of my recent shots work in both color and B&W: usually it's happens much less often. Maybe some should tell me, "Get thee to an M10M!". (Incidentally, these colors remind me of Ektar 100 film.)
