Forked-stem Adonis (Adonis Ramosa) 福壽草

When I find these yellow flowers, I  feel the spring has really come even if the temperature is still low.
They keep opening under the sunshine and close petals in the evening. The petals have an important role to gather the sun heat in the center of the flower so that insects can be induced to come to this flower by that heat.

  3. Clearly these are related to the common American buttercups. They look innocent and delightful. --Jim

  5. 福壽草學名是側金盞花,遼寧地區稱之為雪蓮花,她的花語是回憶、堅忍、執著ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

  13. Spotting yellow in the environment is always like seeing sunshine. They sort of remind me of Gazania which grows nicely here in the desert. Thanks for stopping by my corner of the blogosphere. :)
