Common name : European Globeflower – Scientific name : Trollius europaeus – Family : Ranunculaceae.

---

Widespread but not particularly common. In damp places out of reach of grazing and with some shade, including rock ledges in hills, banks of burns and wooded ravines. Altitude : 500m to 2500m...

ID: Flower is almost spherical, unlike any other. This larger-than-others member of the Ranunculus family reaches a heigh on 50 cm.

Other features : Root leaves cut to the base into five lobes, each in turn divided into three lobes, and these deeply toothed. Stem leaves even more deeply cut, with narrower segments. Root leaves quite high off the ground, on very long ascending stalks. Flower globe is made up of 10 sepals, which have taken over the function of petals in attracting insects. The actual petals are narrow and hidden inside the globe.

I love the yellow of the flower Christian. The fly is a nice bonus. Well composed and good details. TFS!

Exceptional composition and colors, the fly adds a nice point of interest that makes one look twice. Interesting subject and a complete note. Excellent post, Christian.
