[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While walking through Dobrogea region I have visited the XIII –th century fortress from Enisala. It is situated on a hill about 100 m high at the side of Babadag and Razim lakes. It is a rocky limestone hill, with very low level of rainfall, on which is growing steppe vegetation. As we are in August temperature on the rocky top was near to 40 degrees Celsius.

I was surprised to see that on the limestone rocks were flowering many Dianthus. It is Dianthus nardiformis. This Dianthus is growing in Bulgaria and only in Dobrogea region in Romania. It is included in the European Red List of threatened Plants (IUCN 1997) and considered to be vulnerable (V) in Romania.

I think it is for the first time shown on TrekNature therefore I tried to do a photo as clear as possible to show most details of the flower.

Cristian, es una toma de gran belleza aunque evidentemente le falta un poco de profundidad para poder ver toda la flor en foco, especialmente en la parte izquierda de la toma.

Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Bonjour Cristian,
L'image est un peu plate mais le sujet est finement détaillé et harmonieusement coloré.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
