Erysimum kotschyanum (Kotschy Erysimum, Dwarf Alpine Wallflower)

I would like to dedicate this capture of this beautiful montan flower to my two beloved sisters, Leyla AHMET (yasemin) & Jane MAGEN (jaycee). I hope they can like this:)! I wish you all the best my Sisters!

*****************************

The genus Erysimum (wallflowers) includes more than 220 species, both popular garden plants and many wild forms. They are small, annual, short-lived perennial herbs or sub-shrubs, reaching 10-130 cm tall, with bright yellow to red or pink flowers produced throughout the spring and summer. One species, Erysimum semperflorens, native to Morocco and Algeria, has white flowers. Wallflowers have t-shaped trichomes. The genus Cheiranthus is sometimes included herein whole or in part.

Wallflowers are native to southwest Asia, the Mediterranean region, Europe, Macaronesia (Including Cabo Verde), and North America through Costa Rica. Many wallflowers are endemic to small areas. Erysimum kykkoticum, found only on Cyprus, is nearly extinct.

Erysimum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species including the Garden Carpet. In addition, some species of weevils live inside the fruits feeding on the developing seeds. Many species of beetles, bugs and grasshoppers eat on the leaves and stalks.

PS. Thanks to Prof. Dr. Özcan SEÇMEN (E.U. Fac. Sci., Biol. Dept. Botany Section, Bornova-Izmir) for species ID.
