On page 2 of the first site listed the yellow plant is named Pedicularis ascendens, which it obviously isn't. I think it is Verbascum lanatum. Definitely a Verbascum, though.  I cannot, therefore, trust the plant names given on the site. 

The pictures are terrific and the 360degree panoramas are lovely, making me yearn to be there.

Lots of other misnomers on the site Heather....very unfortunate, but hopefully this won't detract from the beauty of the images.
