Spring bouquet ;)
Wiosenny "bukiecik" złoci pstryknięty w parku. Widok tych drobniutkich kwiatuszków zawsze był dla mnie oznaką nadejścia wiosny :)
First Spring flowers are already blooming in the park :)
Gagea is a large genus of spring flowers in the Liliaceae found in Europe and western Asia. It is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage. English common name of this flower is the Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem.
The distinguishing characteristic of the pretty yellow star-of-Bethlehem is the long, glossy green sepals that extend the full length of the flower petals.
The flowers are star-shaped and the petals bright yellow and slightly in-rolled. It is a bulb plant, with a solitary basal leaf, a bit like that of the bluebell, with a hooded tip and ridged back. The plant grows on moist soil in woods, often in places seasonally flooded by streams and rivers, and accompanied by other spring flowers, like wood anemone, water forget-me-not and lesser celandine.
Latin name: Gagea lutea
Polish name: złoć żółta
