No, it grows in open conditions on a hill between but always in a distance to Cistus species. At the time of my visit it was surprisingly wet.

I saw the moss on the picture, so it had to be wet or shade.. :-\

Narcissus eugeniae: never heard of, but very nice. So short!

Thank you alltogether for your kind comments!

Anne: up to 50 cm. The species is said to be hardy - (maybe from more northern provenance).

Thanks for these, Gerd; hope there are more to come.......
I do like Narcissus eugeniae - looks to have been a wonderful sight.

Luit: John Blanchard includes it as a subspecies of N pseudonarcissus.

Dave, after I asked, I thought of the book, which I took later.

I found it in the Pyrenees (thalictrum tuberosum) and it is easy and hardy. There it was growing in wet hedgerows.A really good plant.

A lovely series of pics Gerd. This is a part of Spain I have not been to and I must put that right some day.

Gerd,

the Jasminum looks like Jasminum mesnyi (Primel-Jasmin = Primrose-Jasmin). A species hardy to -5 to -10 Celsius. Survived in the nursery I work in an unheated filmtunnel. Foliage damaged, but the branches are green. Flowers here at the end of April/ to mid May.

Thank you David - for me it was the first time there also. One of the best parts of the country I visited. The crowded coastal area around Valencia is a horror.

Thanks Gerd for all your hard work to show these plants to us! The tulip in the moss is a revelation for me!
Hristo passed away, after a long illness, on 11th November 2018. His support of SRGC was  much appreciated.

I missed this topic! Superb pictures, Gerd. I didn't remebered you will visit Teruel, it is one of my favourite provinces due Maestrazgo region. I recomend to everybody my favourite village in Spain: Pitarque and also near villages like Villarluengo, Cantavieja, Tronchón etc.... because they are actually in the Midle Age, very few people, very few lights, roads... etc.

Last picture is a night mare, do you think is it possible a Tsunami in Mediterraneo Sea? ;D >:( ;D >:(
