Hairy stumper... :)

Hm, or a "Hairy and easy stumper"... ?

 

Lila, do you have a salt water aquarium? Give us a clue ie. land or sea.

 

No, unfortunately I don't have an aquarium... :)

 

Ok, this is the original pic:

 

Oh nooo... :( Any idea?
It's a beautiful native (and protected) wildflower... and it's really very hairy!!! :)

 

Pulsatilla, maybe Pulsatilla pratensis subsp. hungarica or P. grandis ?

 

YES! P. grandis!!! (P. pratensis subsp. hungarica = P. flavescens is a bit different: http://www.carpathianbasinspecies.eu/2_Vascular_Plant_-_Tracheophyta/Species/Pulsatilla_flavescens/index.html)

 

Beautiful flower, thanks for showing it to us. Haven't seen that species over here.

 

That is an amazing flower!!!

 

Lila,

fantastic photos of a really hairy plant. We do not have Pulsatilla in Portugal, but once I was lucky to see Pulsatilla vulgaris growing wild in England. I have never been very successful when I have tried to grow any Pulsatillas in my garden - which is a pity as they are such wonderful flowers.

thank you
Brian

 

Bonus stumper for Pulsatilla-fans: these are the neighbours/best friends :))) of the Pulsatilla above, but what plants are they? :) (They are also typical grassland flowers in my area in march/april.)

 

#1 -- Adonis ?

 

Yes! :) Adonis vernalis (+ Carex humilis and a tiny Erophila verna)
