Erodium chrysanthum  

 Allan Robinson, UK

Here is a comparison of some Erodium chrysanthum flowers. The two pale blooms in the centre are from the form of Erodium chrysanthum sold in the horticultural trade. The deeper yellow flowers on either side are from typical Central Peloponnese forms, female to the left, male to the right.The top two male flowers are one clone, the bottom right is a second one. It is worth noting the difference between the anthers/stamens and pollen colour on the Horticultural form and those belonging to the wild types. 
Erodium chrysanthum can be found in the Greek Peloponnese and also some mountains in Central Greece.
