Field of anchusa cespitosa in Axlada  - 14th June 2006

This dates back to the middle of May. I was passing at Axlada (below the summit of Psilafi in the western White Mountains) and came across a whole field mixing Anchusa cespitosa (that's the blue flower) and two types of yellow flowers (one is, I think, a Crepis, the other one I don't know). Normally the rare Anchusa grows in well defined patches and doesn't mix with other flowers so I found this very unusual.
