yellow daisy ID'd by Oron as Calendula arvensis
« on: May 09, 2014, 03:27:29 PM »
We saw this short yellow daisy like flower  growing on the sandy ground at the Ancient Port of Lechaion back in February.
Since then I have been trying to identify it, off and on.
There are just too many yellow daisy like flowers to choose from.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Oron,
Many thanks for taking the time to identify the Field Marigold.
I thought it was something much less common.
We went back to the area this morning and found many more wild flowers to snap.
Now to try to identify them
