Wild tulips (having a party). Sierra de La Cabrera, June 2013

They only open at the height of the strongest sun and when the temperature gets really hot, sometimes for an hour or so only. I have seen them closed on a sunny and warm day - it just wasn't quite hot enough. This is not photoshopped or edited in any major way. The tulip colours and the grey of the degraded granite were as seen.

These are profuse here between April and June, as are others including a Snake's Tongue variety. Well, early June is still spring in the Sierra.
Anacamptis picta, is the name of this variety. I have Ronald Losure to thank for this information. He has included more information and photos in a useful link alongside his comment below. Shot taken 2013 and first posted on ipernity 2016.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY IPERNITY FRIENDS!!!!

High above the beach by the side of the steep path.
A lazy, hazy summer's afternoon.
The cliffs seen here are called The Knavocks. No idea why.

This is an officially designated nudist beach. I like this beach for its many aesthetic qualities and pleasures! But I must add that I have never seen any nudists here! The way down is quite safe but not perhaps for the faint-hearted! And in some years, land slides and mud slips make the path treacherous until someone (on one occasion me and a local line fisherman) helps out by kicking in a new path where the old one had been swept away. (The things I do for aesthetics!)
Seriously, anyone who knows this beach well will tell you that I am exaggerating. You see whole families down on the beach. Grandmothers pass me by on their zimmer frames as I gingerly creep down the cliff path, City types stroll past, nonchalantly placing a deal or booking a table at Nathan Outlaw's latest restaurant. etc etc
No. I still haven't seen any nudists here!
Sorry. I get carried away sometimes with the beauty of Cornish scenery!

South West Peninsula coast Path between Basset Cove and Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath, Cornwall. For Pam. Full screen best, I think.
I simply felt like showing it again. It cheers me up! Hope it does the same for you. An addition to Project 21, April: Flowers.
