Description

The Teide bugloss (Echium wildpretii), whose red flowers form a pyramid up to 3m in height, are considered almost the island's symbol. Unfortunately they flourish in May-early June and it was too late to see them in their red splendor. The Teide Daisy (Argyranthemum teneriffae) can be found at altitudes close to 3,600m above sea level. The Teide Violet (Viola cheiranthifolia) can be found right up to the summit of the volcano, making it the highest flowering plant in Spain. Thank you for your kind comments. PS I was appalled by the STAMPEDE OF UPLOADS recently encouraged by the astute marketing policy in RR. It ALLOWS three uploads a day, but it DOES NOT OBLIGE to do it. Thus, put a hand on your hearts, and think: do you really wish to force a person like myself to spend half a second per image at most, in order to leave an even leaner, more stereotyped comment in each gallery? Nobody is going to summon the firing squad to kill you if you upload less (I hope, ;D).

I grew that echium a couple of years ago, and was thrilled by the beauty of it, but unfortunately two extreme winters did for all of them! Wonderful to see them in their home territory!

Beautiful picture. And yes, it is difficult to come up with fresh comments every day. I'm just not creative enough to come up with even one image a week sometimes, so I congratulate those who can post more and my stock comments aren't meant to detract from your work, people. Ok, did I make sense without hurting anyone? Thanks Sandra for touching on this delicate but perhaps necessary subject.

Sono sd'accordo con te , Sandra . la quantità va a scapito della qualità ! Si finisce per essere molto più tolleranti nella scelta per fare il numero .Personalmente sto valutando la possibilità di diminuire gli inserimenti. Un buon lavoro !
