| Purple trees are bloomed all over the island. This is a small one in our back yard. |
 |
| This is a little town on the way to Teide called Vilaflor. It is well named as a city of flowers. There is an old mill you can see the arches to on the bottom left. This is the most charming place we have seen on the island. |
 |
| California Poppies are bloomed everywhere on the hillsides. |
 |
| More Poppies |

| When you get high enough there are long needle pine trees. Some of them are gigantic. |
 |
| At the base of Teide there are some moon scapes from lava flow. |
 |
| This yellow flower is very prettily scattered among the lava. |

| There is a bright pink morning glory that grows everywhere on the hills. I didn't get a good photo of it. |
 |
| I call this Floppy Ears Cactus, which is very prolific on the island. It is blooming everywhere in yellow and this orange. After the blooms get a bright red fruit, which I hear you can eat. |

This is a tram you can take up to the top of the base of Teide and hike to the top of the volcano. Someday we are going to do this hike.
