Little Rose of the Summit

My last post from the Teide National Park on Tenerife showed the stunning Tajinaste Rojo. While they are the most obvious endemic flowers on Tenerife, they are not the only ones. The Rosalillo de Cumbre (Pterocephalus lasiospermus) pictured here is another example.

 

This beautiful shrub, coloring an otherwise barren landscape, immediately caught my eye and I was glad to find that it nicely aligned with the vertical Milky Way.
