Another interesting Catanache. Here we have C. lutea which looks a little bit like that. regards yiannis

Bonjour Ferran,
Très belle macro valorisant bien le sujet dans un cadrage qui me parait tout de même un peu trop serré sur le haut de l'image ; merci pour le partage.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.

Preciosa, i si té l'alçada que dius la planta, ha de ser una miniatura la flor.
Ben captat el groc. Es gairbé identica en forma i textures a C. caerulea que
veig per Lleida amb molta frecuència.
Bon documen i deunidó a l'alçada en que està feta.

Bon cap de setmana Ferran: J. Ignasi.
