Need Ident for Flowers from the South of France
« on: May 24, 2010, 06:48:51 PM »
I have two flowers needing identification.  Pics 1 and 2 are of a plant on the Ile de Porquerolles which is an island near Toulon on the Mediterranean Coast.  The habitat is an orchard.

The third pic is taken in the Massif de Maure about 30km north of Toulon.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

After a bit more research I think the second flower might be Anemone hortensis. Would this make sense?

Rob,
Anemone hortensis is ok! The other other plant is  a Trifolium species (Leguminosae).

Excellent tip Gerd. Trifolium stellatum I guess.  Don't see how it could be any other.  Thanks much!
