Carrot Burr-Parsley


A cultivated field on poor and stony soil. There are not much cereals, but wild flowers are abundant.


The farmer did not use much fertilizer and weedkiller and that's why here grow plants that have disappeared elsewhere.Like the Carrot Burr-Parsley (Caucalis platycarpos), that flowers and produces fruit before harvest and the arrival of hot and dry summer months.





Here, in the last rays of the evening sun, some umbels with fruits covered with small hooks.
