OK, time for something a bit more obvious: Scottish heather.
I love the Wikipedia quote:
"Heather is seen as iconic of Scotland, where the plant grows widely. When poems like Bonnie Auld Scotland speak of "fragrant hills of purple heather', when the hero of Kidnapped flees through the heather, when heather and Scotland are linked in the same sentence, the heather talked about is Calluna vulgaris."
@wim_v12e I actually live close to the largest heath in Europe.
@Vexatos Lucky you! I have to travel some distance. Is that the Lüneburg Heath?
@wim_v12e Indeed. It is absolutely incredible during the heather bloom. And there still are some traditional shepherds moving across the heath with their sheep because they are needed to keep it alive.
@wim_v12e I should have some photos somewhere but I cannot find them right now, sorry about that.
@Vexatos I imagine it must be stunning. Post a pic if you have a chance!
Here we have plenty of sheep too but no traditional shepherds.
