Wild lavender

Spanish or Iberian lavender, Sierra de La Cabrera.
On the old GR10, the long distance footpath from Valencia to Lisbon (the new path goes north just before here and takes a radically new route north of the Sierra - no idea why they changed it - ), crossing the entire peninsula. Actually hardly anyone attempts this, such is the alternative lure of the many pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Campostela.

Were these plants near the beehives? Perfect for the bees to find nectar

Andy Rodker replied to Jenny McIntyre:

A good question, Jenny!
At this time of year, this wild lavender is everywhere so it will of course be near the beehives! I guess this spot was about half a mile from the beehives, well within range for the bees!
And honey, where the main flower constituents are rosemary and lavender, is particularly delicious. I buy the local honey and give it to my girlfriend who adores it. I can't eat it sadly due to my diabetes :o(
