Title: Andalucia again
Post by: Gerdk on November 02, 2018, 09:58:12 AM

Although I told my wife after our journey in 2017  there was no need to visit the region again I could not resist
and booked a flight to Jerez de la Frontera spontaneously for the end of October.
By pure chance the time to find daffodils in flower was chosen well.
The weather was fine and all narcissus growing in the southern tip of Spain were seen.

So I want to start here

Part 1

Narcissus cavanillesii in a mass occurence, a selection of plants with more than one flower
and (without any comment) between rubbish
