Mature Cypress Spurge (Euphorbia cyparissias)

Usually when taking photographs of flowers I don't know what species they are, but once I get home again I try to figure it out. In the Almagellertal, just above the treeline, there was an explosion of flowers. There were many different species, but these flowers surprised me: I had taken some pictures of similar but bright yellow flowers, which I had determined to be Cypress Spurge (Euphorbia cyparissias). Then, as I was trying to figure out what these red ones where, I read that when the flowers mature they turn from yellow to red! Euphorbia cyparissias - Wikipedia. 11 July 2014.
