Regresando de mi paseo diario me encontré un pequeño claro que parece ocupar el lugar de descanso del pastor o cabrero. En sus inmediaciones, los árboles aparecían cubiertos de unas bellas guirnaldas de flores amarillas y acampanadas brillando a la luz del sol del atardecer.
Returning from my daily walk I found a small clearing that seems to occupy the resting place of the shepherd or goatherd. In its vicinity, the trees appeared covered with beautiful garlands of yellow and flared flowers shining in the evening sunlight.
Conocida popularmente como enredadera andaluza, vidalba, hierba muermera, plumaje andaluz, clemátide de Virginia, vidriera o cola de ardilla, su nombre científico es el de Clematis cirrhosa.
Popularly known as Andalusian creeper, vidalba, hierba muermera, Andalusian plumage, Virginia clematis, stained glass or squirrel's tail, its scientific name is Clematis cirrhosa.
Se trata de una planta trepadora emparentada con los ranúnculos. Sus zarcillos, enganches o cirros (cirrhosa significa “con muchos zarcillos” y clematis “que trepa”) le permiten ascender por las ramas de los árboles y alcanzar privilegiadas zonas de sol.
It is a climbing plant related to buttercups. Its tendrils, hooks or cirrus (cirrhosa means "with many tendrils" and clematis means "climbing") allow it to climb the branches of trees and reach privileged areas of sun.
Sus flores no dejan indiferentes a nadie, sus llamativas campanas emergen en pleno invierno (enero, febrero y marzo) y está claro que aguanta las gélidas temperaturas que le acompañan durante estos meses de frío. Son hermafroditas (ambos órganos sexuales en la misma flor) y fueron encontradas en la Sierra de Camarolos, Villanueva del Rosario, provincia de Málaga.
Its flowers leave no one indifferent, its showy bells emerge in the middle of winter (January, February and March) and it is clear that it withstands the freezing temperatures that accompany it during these cold months. They are hermaphrodites (both sexual organs in the same flower) and were found in the Sierra de Camarolos, Villanueva del Rosario, Malaga province.
