Q: Field trip report: Southern Spain, late spring, 2011


A: Having seen Drosophyllum in Portugal (see the previous trip report), we travelled to Spain to check up on the genus there, too. I was curious if the plant might vary in appearance across its range.

While preparing for this trip, Stew McPherson had told me about a Pinguicula site in southern Spain that he said was just about the prettiest carnivorous plant site he had ever seen. Coming from peripatetic Stew, this was a powerful commendation indeed!

See the field trip!
