El Perro Negro's Day to Day Ramblings

Zamárraga, erigeron de Sierra Nevada (Erigeron frigidus)

We found this at 3460m on Mulhacen in Spain's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Endemic and critically endangered species. Lives on poorly developed stony schist soils in shaded areas. Not usually found below 3,000 meters of altitude but can bloom up to 3460m between June and September.

A small pink flower with a yellow interior peaks out from behind some deep shaded rocks
