Amidst the lush greenery of the Spanish Pyrenees, a vibrant tableau unfolds. Sticky Phacelia (Phacelia viscida) and Flax (Linum spp.) bloom side by side, their petals clinging together like old friends. Nearby, Torenia, Buddleia, and Anthocercis species dance in the breeze, their colors a riot against the verdant backdrop. Clinging to the rocks, the Clammy Arctotis (Arctotis glutinosa) shows off its sticky leaves, a testament to its namesake. In the undergrowth, the Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) bears its dark, succulent fruit, a treat for wildlife. Uriah Heep, the infamous character from Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield," may have been clammy in his demeanor, but these plants are clammy in a more natural sense. The Clammy Gentian (Gentiana viscosa) exudes a sticky sap, a defense mechanism against herbivores. Up close, the Sticky Flax (Linum viscosum) reveals its sticky flowers, a marvel of nature's design. Each petal, coated in a thin layer of mucilage, clings to insects, ensuring pollination. Nature's intricacies never cease to amaze.
