Yellow flowers:
I gravitated towards a field of yellow flowers, which I figured were yellow-flowering rockroses (Cistaceae). I had seen these yellow
flowers at both Maça (a site in Portugal), and in photographs I had seen of
Drosophyllum habitat.
I practically walked right up to these plants before I understood the situation. Mind melting and jaw agape, my spinning and
rebooting brain explained to me that the yellow flowers were not rockroses. They...were...indeed...the long sought
Drosophyllum!
A huge frakking field of it!
In flower!
And beautiful!
My mood improved considerably.
Here is a view, slightly closer to the ground.
Look how close we were the entire time! You can see La Montera del Torero in the mid-background, perhaps 1 km away.
