There are several species of Cumulus in this picture, but the clouds are mainly of moderate to large vertical extent – the species mediocris and congestus respectively. The congestus at 1, 2, 3 and 4 is shown by the towers of strongly sprouting Cumulus, the bulging upper parts of which resemble a cauliflower. In some instances the clouds resemble narrow, very high towers.
