Trollius europaeus   Globeflower C DD N

Trollius europaeus

This member of the Ranunculaceae is a delight to behold when found in large numbers. It often occurs in upland regions or on mountain ledges where the sheep can't graze but here it was at sea level by a stream with Ulex europaeus (Gorse) and Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold).
