Adonis multiflora lives on a lowland
deciduous-tree forest floor; the flower bud comes out from
underground in March, about when Somei yoshino is in blossom
and opens when in full sunlight. The pale green sepals are
half-length of the lemon yellow petals. The sepals look like they
adhered to the petals, which clarifies where this species is
different from A. ramosa, a very difficult to distinguish
species in the same genus. Shimane RDB lists A. multiflora as
a CR+EN. Bloom time: Bloom time: March-April. |
