Common Andryala


In this cereal field grow many wild flowers.




In this corner the orange poppies jump to the eye, and also a mass of yellow flower heads. Two plants that like ruderalized spots, like this field that has been laboured but that has not been tidied up since.






The plant with yellow flowers is the Common Andryala (Andryala integrifolia). It flowers through summer with many lemon-coloured flower heads.



Stalks and leaves are covered with felt-like hairs.
