Madrid\u2019s <\/span>climate<\/b><\/a> is key to understanding the types of flowers that grow in this area. For starters, the plains of Madrid, including the foothills and plateaus, feature a Mediterranean climate, meaning that the winters are cold, with temperatures under 8\u00baC or below freezing at times, and the summers are hot and dry. At higher elevations, on the other hand, the <\/span>mountain<\/b><\/a> climate causes cold winters and mild summers, along with rain throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In regards to plants found in the piedmonts and plateaus of Madrid<\/span>, we find an abundance of aromatic <\/span>plants<\/b><\/a> such as<\/span> thyme<\/b>, whose flowers bloom in spring, and <\/span>rosemary<\/b>, which blooms throughout most of the year. You can also enjoy the undergrowth of <\/span>rockrose<\/b>, large white flowers that grow in <\/span>forests<\/b><\/a> of holm and cork oaks in Mediterranean and sub-mediterranean climates. Close to streams and other fluvial areas grows the <\/span>wolfsbane<\/b> flower, a herbaceous plant with blueish-purple flowers. Among the <\/span>forests<\/b> and meadows of the area grows <\/span>ragwort<\/b>, a plant that thrives in humidity and blossoms with tiny yellow flowers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Growing close to these are <\/span>bluebells<\/b>, which, as their name indicates, are frequently blue, although they can also be white or pink. <\/span>Cherry blossoms <\/b>are another common blossom in springtime, found in humid forests and fluvial paths, similarly to the <\/span>wild cherry <\/b>trees<\/b><\/a> in bloom. The <\/span>great yellow gentian<\/b>, a plant native to alpine and subalpine meadows, blooms generously, covering itself in small yellow and orange flowers. Between the cracks in the rocks grows the <\/span>Paular geranium<\/b>, which produces rich pink flowers. Don\u2019t be fooled by the strange name of the <\/span>butterwort<\/b>, which sprouts near streams and wet rocks – it ends up blooming with delicate purple flowers. <\/span>Daffodils<\/b> grow in open fields between rocks and are one of the most well-known and loved plants due to the beauty of their flowers. <\/span>Lemon balm <\/b>is another beautiful example located in open forests, with beautiful flared pink flowers. These are just some of the gorgeous examples of flowers that you can enjoy in the Comunidad de Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n
