In the breathtaking forested mountains at Col de Mantet in Pyrenees Orientales, south west France, a vibrant display of nature unfolds. Amongst the picturesque landscape, one can spot the mesmerizing Emberiza calandra, also known as the corn bunting, gracefully perched on branches of the Common broom tree or Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius). The Cytisus species and Cytisus columella add to this enchanting scene with their delicate blooms. The White Spanish broom (Cytisus multiflorus) adds a touch of elegance with its pure white flowers contrasting against lush green foliage. As we explore further into this natural wonderland, our eyes are captivated by colorful caterpillars crawling along leaves - a vivid reminder of nature's intricate cycle of life. Amidst all these wonders stands the majestic Purple laburnum - a hybrid of Laburnum anagyroides - showcasing its regal purple blossoms. Amongst this diverse flora is another remarkable member - Cytisophyllum sessilifolium. Its unique features make it stand out amidst its companions. And not far away is Tagasaste or tree lucerne (Cytisus proliferus), standing tall and proud. Finally, we come across the ever-present Broom (Cytisus scoparius), which seems to be scattered throughout this magnificent landscape like golden brush strokes on a canvas. In May 2018 at Col de Mantet in Pyrenees Orientales, we witness nature's symphony unfold before our very eyes – from sweet oranges hanging from trees to various species of broom painting the scenery in vibrant hues. This magical encounter reminds us that even amidst towering mountains and dense forests lies an extraordinary world waiting to be explored and cherished.
