Euphorbia balsamifera on an ancient lava field

Post by greatnorthernexotic »

On a recent visit to Lanzarote I enjoyed exploring an ancient lava field on the north of the island, where huge old euphorbia balsamifera grew out of the lava rock. They were almost entirely defoliated and grew twisted and low due to the unrelenting winds.

This was my first time seeing succulents in habitat. I've included a few photos and I also made a short YouTube video. https://youtu.be/hfrAkfqMc3k
