http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html The Burren is home to a unique array of plants. Species of Alpine and Mediterranean origin coexist in a landscape which is almost at sea level. The climate in the Burren is a mild maritime climate, free from extremes of temperature, and with a high annual rainfall. However, the winter brings strong winds which sweep along the harsh limestone pavements. A haven for botanists, it is not uncommon to see alpine and mediterranean plants co-existing. http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#0 c0742b07-dd89-4a97-8da2-da67763e259c http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Bloody%20Cranesbill/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Bloody%20Cranesbill/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Bloody Cranesbill</p></div></div> http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#1 351e8745-784a-454a-a2b4-abc1d8dbacdd http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Wild%20Rose-Hips/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Wild%20Rose-Hips/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Wild Rose-Hips</p></div></div> http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#2 434bcea4-42ef-4b3f-ab9a-436457764de5 http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/DSC00087/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/DSC00087/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Spring Gentian</p></div></div> http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#3 057805e5-a3b6-4407-9fc4-217fccac4f4f http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Heather/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Heather/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Heather</p></div></div> http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#4 f71d5884-f86b-470a-aedb-721c163c80fa http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Pic0009/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/Pic0009/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Bee Orchid</p></div></div> http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren.html#5 d62ea227-63a0-44d0-a5e8-bffe42c5d6d9 http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/P3090040/thumb.jpg http://www.villamaria.ie/Villa_Maria/Flora_of_the_Burren_files/Media/P3090040/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Lichens</p></div></div>
