Wild flower spotting

I love wild flowers. I do not know much about them but when I am out in the countryside I like to notice the hues and shapes of any plants that bring a little colour to their surroundings. If I manage to take some photographs I like to see if I can identify them once I am at home. Many of the plants I see in Catalonia do not have common names in English as they are only found in the Mediterranean. The photos I am going to share today were all taken near the village of Tavertet in Osona. 

Wood spurge / Lleteresa de bosc (Euphorbia amygdaloides)

Common globe daisy / Senet de pobre (Globularia vulgaris

Jonça (Aphyllanthes monspeliensis

A type of Helianthemum (I haven't worked out which yet!)
