Rafa,
When I view plants of such exquisite beauty it becomes perfectly clear why so many people enjoy gardening, growing plants, seeing them in the wild, photographing them, falling down on their knees and adoring them (Oh, that's only me, sorry)

Fantastic morning in one of my favourite fields in my village. I hope one day to buy this field to preserve all his botanic jewels!!. It could be about 2000 Iris xiphium, and a number "n" of Asphodelus ramossus, Asphodelus albus, Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, Ornithogalum umbellatum, Orchis morio, Orchis mascula, Orchis coriophora, Serapias lingua, Serapias bomeracea, Paeonia officinalis, Paeonia broteroi, Hyacinthoides hispanica, Scilla verna, Scilla autumnalis, Gladiolus illyricus, Tragopogon porrifolus, Agrostemma githago, Primula veris, Primula elatior, Polygonatum odoratum, Nepeta tuberosa... and a big etc.

Great pictures Rafa. I could be tempted to buy a few square meters myself!

Hello Rafa,
wow - interesting to see the color difference to my lilium martagon cultivar.
My one is much more spotted.

Very beautiful plant, Armin, it's very different from wild forms in my region.

Great pics as always Rafa - Thanks!
Interesting that Merendera montana is at exactly the same stage of flowering here in SE UK despite the very different summer conditions here. I had imagined it flowering on parched hillsides in the wild but here all is lush and green.

OMG OMG OMG!
Is that L. martagon your Rafa? It's my favourite Lilium of all! Too bad i've heard it is very rare in the wild today...

I've missed these photos. Better Orchid photos than any book I have seen. Are all these within walking distance of your house? Do you give lectures?
Heather what about Rafa for a lecture? Maybe for Dublin also?
