Polygala sp
The very last couple of kilometres of road to the plateau of Itatiaia National Park is blocked by the park entrance, and even though you can drive to the camping site by the small dam, it’s not worth it! You’ll miss all the magnificent flora and fauna along the dirt road. In the rainy season […]

Blåfjær (Polygala vulgaris)
En liten plante som man må nært på for å se hvilken kompleks blomst dette er. Før blomsten springer ut ser det ut som om det vil komme en liten blå blomst med kronblader som på en jordbærblomst, men blåfjær er ulik de fleste blomster. Bare å fotografere den er vrient fordi den er så […]
