High Altitude plants:
I haven't spent much time researching the names or scientific names of these species but they are cool and worth putting up here. Please excuse my lack of effort in the scientific realm for this post!
Succulents... (*edit: These are the beginnings of Senecio kilimanjari)
Hiking towards Baranco camp... on the left is the infamous Baranco Wall. It's nickname is also the
Breakfast Wall. As it is a sharp climb out of camp first thing in the morning, guides informally tell you that you'll either "Use your breakfast" or "Lose your breakfast!"
More plants endemic to Kilimanjaro's alpine.
Walking through Dr. Seuss-like forest on the final approach to Baranco. More
Senecio kilimanjari!
Everlasting flower (grey leaves, white flowers- always open apparently); some yucca-family plants (probably the baby-version of the forest seen above- dang, I forgot the name!); Yellow daisies too!
