Sempervivum minutum
One of the best aspects of checking out a new walking route is the thrill of spotting special flowers and to capture its beauty on a photograph for the ´El Paraje Flora Book´. Special are certainly the endemic species of the Sierra Navada, like this Sempervivum minutum or Sempervivum vicentei. We took this picture of the ´Sierra Nevada Liveforever´ just before reaching the top of the Morrón del Mediodía, at an altitude of about 2,650 metres height. It would be interesting to know on which other summits of the Sierra Nevada this Siempreviva nevadense could be found. According to Gabriel García Guardia, author of ´Flores Silvestres de Andalucía´ people used to recollect this Siempreviva because they believed that it could attribute to a longer life.
