sideritis scardica(zoom)

2 Jan, 2018

 

I had to google again to see the flowers clearly. They are not unlike the common sage flowers but yellow instead of blue. I was surprised to read that in the 1950's and 60's it was kept under control by mowing but nowadays it has been depleted because it is recognised as having medicinal properties. In your photo it seems to have taken refuge under a juniper bush. Thank you for showing this.
