    I took an almost identical shot of this flower on Tenerife Island.
    This province of Spain has the most unusual tree as emblem or call it national plant. Admire it at http://www.tenerife-holiday-home-insider.com/holiday-in-tenerife.html. It’s the ages old Drago of Icod de los Vinos which belongs to the onion family to the best of my knowledge.
