nfoto Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Immediately recognisable as the UV signature of a Ranunculus - the UV-dark basal patches are smaller than on most European species seen so far by me, however. Nice work. Link to comment
DaveO Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks Birna, We had a pretty slim year here with the dryness but I hadn't been able to find a good specimen of this before. Link to comment
