Very nice, it is Ranunculus peltatus, Ori

Fabulous photo Betty! I have seen all of your work on TE as well...I am constantly on the lookout for fellowe trekkers with shots from Lebanon...and yours are a delight! The composition of this image is wonderful...taken wide of the wetland and thendetail of the actual flower. But what makes this so strong is the separation method you used. Unique, and the PERFECT complement for the images. It doesn't overpower or distract from the photos...which are the focus. Couldn't have done better myself! Thanks for the inspiration and TFS!!! Keep it up! :)

Czesc!
Na pierwszy rzut oka wyglada jak plantacja rumianków. Bardzo ciekawa ta plantacja a takze nazwa. Pragnelam dowiedziec sie czegos wiecej o owych kwiatach jednak wpisujac w google haslo SPERMATOPHYTA niewiele mozna znalezc, dopiero ANGIOSPERMAE pozwolilo na rozszerzenia mojej wiedzy. Ciekawa stronka: http://www.unex.es/polen/herbarium/html/ranpel.htm

Zdjecie bardzo ciekawe, ladne kolory, detale. Bardzo interesujaca fotografia.
