Like its common counterpart T. pratensis, this flower is one of those which shows only in the morning. The common name for T. pratensis is Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon so if you leave your botanising until the late afternoon, as we did when looking for this plant, you have to return early next morning. This plant is a Mediterranean introduction.
