A Wild & Yellow Beauty - for ORI FRAGMAN SAPIR
Hyoscyamus aureus (Golden Henbane) [in Turk. Altın Ban Otu]

Dear Friends, Today -by changing my main subject (herpetology)-, I dedicate this capture of this beautifull wild yellow flower - to one of my beloved and heartfelt friends in TN, Ori Fragman Sapir (fragman) who is an expert on plants and photographing them (indeed an expert botanist from Israel) to thanks to him for his valuable contributions to TN and aspecially to the knowledge of Turkish flora uploading some excellent captures which he has photoggraphed during his Easter holiday in Antalya. I hope you can like this!
I wish you all the best my friend and thanks once more for your significant contributions!

Since I have got limited information on the identifying the plants. May be Ori or some other friends (such as Howard, Ena, ….) who expert on this scientific field can write its ID. I would be indebted...

Ps. These are small flowers (approx. 1 cm diameter of each) and low-heighted plants (approx. maximum 20 cm). I encountered with them during our herpetological trip to Cyprus near the rocky coastal side between the rocks of Tatlisu (Kyrenia).

Bayram

I would like to thank to Mr. Sami TAMSON (stomsoncy) from N. Cyprus and Ori for ID

Poisonous plant belonging to the nightshade family (family Solanaceae), found on waste ground throughout most of Europe and western Asia. It is a branching plant, up to 80 cm in high, with hairy leaves. The yellow flowers are bell-shaped. Henbane is used in medicine as a source of the drugs hyoscyamine and scopolamine.

Additional References:

1. Henbane
2. Hyoscyamus aureus

Bayram Hocam ne kadar güzel yabani bir çiçek. Bu arazide birlikteytik. Ben neden görmedim bunu. Atlattınız beni hocam. Alacağınız olsun yani. Mükemmel bir çekim. Detaylar harika. Ama maalesef ben de uzman değilim. Ori tayin edecektir ve de sevinecektir hediyenize. Vefalı olmak ayrı bir özellik tabi. Teşekkürler paylaşımınız için.

Thanks so very much, I do not deserve this. The plant is Hyoscyamus aureus. In Israel it is one of the few wild flowers growing on the ancient walls of Jerusalem. Ori

Bayram Hocam nefis bir görüntü. Detaylar harika, Ori için gerçekten vefalı bir teşekkür hediyesi. Elkinize sağlık. Kıbrıs'tan selamlar.

I cannot help with ID Bayram, but these flowers are beautiful and remind me of a species of geranium. Your picture is really nice and looks great with the nice dimmed light and the beautiful colours. Thank you!
