Sesamoides purpurascens in bloom
Here comes the usual spot again. Full of little wildflowers to discover. This is the second Sesamoides that I have fund in this spot. The previous one - Sesamoides spathulifolia looks almost the same with the same colours, but it seems bigger and the flowers on the stem are more compact.
Sesamoides purpurascens

It is one of the spring blooming flowers (both types) intensively visited by bees. It can be found in Portugal, Spain and south parts of France. It does likes the heat and it grows and blooms in open spaces on very poor soil. By the summer heat it is gone though.
Blooming time starts in late march and the flowers on the stems will bloom sequentially. Each can dozens of tiny little white flowers. And while on the first ones turn to seed pods, the tip still holds buds waiting to open.
The stems can extend even up to 50 cm in length though they stay close to the soil and only the tip is raised higher. It seems as they are very short plans this way.

a very beautiful little flower that blooms so perfectly.
Never seen one of these. Lovely flower, though.
Hi, I think I saw this flower years ago in the green of where I live.
By the way, thanks for your support to Turkish Community.
impressive pictures, very nice explanation, I learned the flower in the picture for the first time thanks to you, thank you, the pictures are great
Your narration was as beautiful as the flowers. People may think you are a botanist :)
.The wildflowers look really beautiful. I think it grows mostly in Portugal and France. It became clear where the bees got their vitamins. I also love working with flowers. Congratulations. It's a great article
Great photos of those delicate plants which probably get little attention normally.
