Très jolie*******

Here they are again ;) I´d always liked the colors of the lavender in your photos Andy..great contrast to la Cabrera!!!

Enjoy your weekend and kind greetings!

Hi Tanja.
I replied shortly after your comment but it disappeared. I still haven't got used to the differences. But I'm getting there slowly!
What I said was that my latest photo shows that the lavender is happy in La Cabrera, In fact all my lavender shots are from there! So there is no conflict or contrast between the two! When the lavender is in season it is always from La Cabrera. Out of season and of course my La Cabrera shots don't have any lavender in them! :o)
Thank you for your nice comments, as usual.
Best wishes, Andy

Maravillosa imagen Andy, entre rocas y bellos paisajes. Mis felicitaciones. Eduardo.

Sieht aus wie Lavendel. Blüht er so früh in Spanien?

Hi Angelika,
It used to be called French or Provencal lavender because it has the same two top purple leaves (not petals) but recent DNA profiling showed that it was a different variety found only in Central Spain and Portugal. Best wishes, Andy

Superb shot.

Thank you.

By whatever name it is certainly beautiful and beautifully photographed, too, with that remarkable landscape in the background.

Thank you, Ron.
It is excellent walking country, either for following well trod paths or for more interesting scrambling at all levels. And only 30 miles from the centre of Madrid. Amazingly, I often have only myself for company all day!
Have a good week.
Best wishes, Andy

That is my kind of place, Andy. Wonderful to have such easy access.

Ricard,
Slavko,
Many thanks to you both!

Does it smell as wonderful as lavender? I love the flowers as foreground.

It is lavender, Eva. I meant 'different variety', not species. I will amend my notes. Sorry to have confused you.
It smells as wonderful as you might hope!
Many thanks, Andy

So do they use this lavender as they do with the other lavender?

I'm not sure. On the plain they grow other varieties commercially. Maybe this one is not responsive to commercial cultivation. I just don't know, Sorry!

Thank you, Reinhard .
