Adonis aestevalis ssp parviflora Summer Pheasant's-eye
Very common all over Spain and France, this "arable weed" wild flower is otherwise dotted here and there in other Mediterranean countries. We found it in abandoned or cultivated crop fields just as you would expect. In Turkey this smaller orange sub species is found in the eastern part predominantly with only few occurrences in western and central Turkey.
The lucky find of Adonis flammea and adonis aestevalis ssp parviflora growing together puzzled us at first until we realised they were separate. entangled plants.
