Colourful Wildflowers Valencia: Scientific Name:
Papaver rhoeas
Near Castell de Castells in Valencia, Spain there are many olive groves still cared for in the same way as they were generations ago. Beneath the olive trees a carpet of colourful wildflowers adds to the serene beauty of the sun-kissed terraces of the region around Castell de Castells in Valencia.
Dandelions and poppies grow in profusion and the yellow and red make a bright contrast to the olive groves dark trunks and branches. Both of these lovely, colourful wildflowers are considered weeds to many people, but the dandelions attract ladybugs and provides pollen in early spring for bees. The pollen of the red poppy is dark blue or gray.
The yellow dandelion is a perennial plant, and somewhere back in time was named dent-de-lion...
... because the shape of the leaves resemble lions' teeth. The red poppy probably was just a form of the Latin name Papaver rhoeas. However, these colourful wildflowers certainly enhance the olive groves near Castell de Castells in Valencia, where the virgin oil produced is some of the best in Spain.
