Adonis annua
(Adonis autumnalis, Adonis phoenicea, Pheasant's-eye, Adonis' Flower, autumn adonis, Autumn Pheasant's-eye, Blooddrops, Red Chamomile, Red Morocco, Rose-a-ruby, Soldiers-in-green)

Very few seeds are produced by each plant, and their large size and heaviness restricts the colonisation of new areas. So, grow in front of border, collect the seeds in the autumn and sow the germinating seeds in late autumn into fibre-pots before planting out the pot in a different area next year.

June - July

Native to North Africa, Western Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe.

Adonis annua was added to the UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority List in 2007 as being endangered. The seeds are large, similar in size and shape to a grape pip, 3.5mm x 4.5mm, and weighing between 5mg and 10mg.

(40 x 20)
The Latin name Adonis is said to remember the young Adonis who was killed by a wild boar; this flower supposedly sprang up from the ground where his blood fell. Pheasants have red eyes, and the common name refers to this fact.

This species underwent a catastrophic decline in Britain between 1880 and 1950 due to its high sensitivity to herbicides and its poor competi-tiveness on soils enriched with nitrogen fertilizers.

It is worth remembering that especially with roses that the colour of the petals of the flower may change - The following photos are of Rosa 'Lincolnshire Poacher' which I took on the same day in R.V. Roger's Nursery Field:-

There are 720 roses in the Rose Galleries; many of which have the above series of pictures in their respective Rose Description Page.

So one might avoid the disappointment that the 2 elephants had when their trunks were entwined instead of them each carrying their trunk using their own trunk, and your disappointment of buying a rose to discover that the colour you bought it for is only the case when it has its juvenile flowers; if you look at all the photos of the roses in the respective Rose Description Page!!!!
