The limiting factor that is affecting the plant life in the Atacama desert is the rain.  In the sentence, it says " however in rare periods of rain flowers and plants bloom causing a "TEMPORARY" colorful landscape." Meaning that the flowers bloom until there is a period of no rain.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A limiting factor that is affecting the plant life in the Atacama Desert is the lack of rain; the water that is needed for life to flourish in any environment.

When we are talking about limiting factors we are referring to the resource needed in a place to maintain the ecology and the environment with the proper conditions. That is why the scientist observes some forms of life during the raining season. With water, life is possible in these harsh desertic conditions. The Atacama Desert is located in Chile, South America.
