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.

Sierra de La Cabrera and Spanish Lavender

Spring flowers - June 2014. The Lavender flowers earlier in the valleys than here.
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 is a different variety found only in Central and Southern Spain and Portugal.
Spring in Algete, Madrid province, May 2016.

The grass is green and the spring flowers are doing their thing. But this lasts for 3 weeks at most. The rest of the year the country here is brown, yellow and burnt.
HFF!!!! ... OK, I'm stretching it a little bit! :o…
