[ES] Otra compuesta: Hypochaeris radicata (familia Asteraceae). Sus flores, aunque sencillas y comunes, me parecen preciosas.
Hice un montón de tomas con distintas exposiciones y balances de blancos y al final me he quedado con esta oscurísima que he tenido que aclarar en darktable.

[ES] Me encontré esta flor de Rhagadiolus edulis (familia Asteraceae) tal cual, emergiendo en el centro de la hoja de trébol, y me hizo gracia. He probado a aplicar una viñeta oscura a la foto, pero no me he atrevido a hacerla muy patente.

[EN] I found this flower of Rhagadiolus edulis (family Asteraceae) like this, emerging between the clover's leaf, and I liked it. I've tried applying a dark vignette to the photo, but I didn't dare to make it very noticeable.

Wait a second, why does this herbarium sheet of a Calotis have the cypselas of a Rutidosis?

I guess that should teach me not to rely blindly on the specimen identifications of more senior botanists.
