I recall him telling of the purple flower plant and isnt from there but was imported from half a world away. They do look like bluebonnets and are they the same plant as the Texas version? The climates can differ dramatically.
01:10 You can see the silhouette of Arnarsetur really well on the left side from this perspective! a recent lava shield from the 13th century eruptive period. The edges of the lava field in the foreground are likely from this volcano. You think you could do a drone video from the Arnarsetur crater when you're in the area next time?
Thanks for the update literally from the road home back from your holidays. Interesting to see the beautiful flowers that are apparently introduced from Canada. I wonder if they are considered invasive as they are growing very well and might be crowding out more native plants.
The lupine and some other flowers are in bloom now in the Cascade alpine mountains of Washington now. I have seen blue, yellow, and white versions in the State.
Lupines are nowadays forbidden in Finland because they spreed so easily outside from gardens, everywhere and take place and living possibilities away from our original flora.
