Wildflowers

On the way to Lai da Tuma we walked through meadows and slopes full of wildflowers, such as the "Türkenbund" lily in this photo. The German name "Türkenbund" and the English 'Turk's cap lily' both refer to the open flower's likeness to headwear worn during the Ottoman empire.

Turk's cap lily can become up to 120 cm in height - I think this one must have been close to it.
