In #Spain it is not very common to have #fires of >1000 ha at 1500-1900 m altitude. An example from last summer is the fire at Boca-de-Huergano (#Riaño, #León). Much of the fire affected a young plantation of #Pinus #uncinata (not native to the area; not sure why it was planted!) and #Betula. Betula individuals are now #resprouting, but most shrubs are not.

Here’s a fun member of the #Carex genus:

Carex #uncinata .

I recently added a photo of it and its seeds on #iNaturalist . I will not be adding it to my collection of various Carex members in my Carex garden because of what I said when I encountered it: I said it’s common name.

Bastard grass.

Bloody painful.
