Spring Cinquefoil


In the same environment as the previous species grows the Spring Cinquefoil (Potentilla verna).


Here its tiny yellow flowers surround a small Western Spider Orchid (Ophrys occidentalis) that likes the same habitat.















  
Seen from nearby the flowers look, except for their color, like miniature Dog roses. No surprise, the Spring Cinquefoil is a member of the Rose family.
