Anemone, Celandine and  buttercups

An hortensis type of Anemone in a thistle.

Anemones in an olive grove turf.

   Sometimes growing along with Ranunculus you can find Anemone coronaria (or hortensis or pavonina nearby sp.) They are often numerous in Olive-fields and scrub-lands. I saw white-lilac forms but red and blue Fl. exists. From afar White Anemone and ranunculus are difficult to distinguish. Anemone have finely dissected leaves and stamens are beared on a round receptacle while Ranunculus have crenated leaves and conical receptacle.

       In a short and wet pasture in Pentadactylon, this big strain of Celandine was growing (Ranunculus ficaria), it is supposed to be ssp ficariiformis.
