Yellow Toadflax( Keltakannusruoho )
Name also: Butter and eggs, Common toadflax

Toadflaxes are abundant in western Asia and around the Mediterranean. Many of them favour culturally-influenced areas, at least to at least a certain extent.
Yellow toadflax is a perennial, strong-rooted herb which has root buds. It flowers on roadsides right up until late September. In Finland it is native to coastal rocky outcrops. Inland plants may be established aliens that arrived later. Yellow toadflax has a beautiful flower and has thus been transplanted into gardens as an ornamental and found new habitats in this way.

Well, I went and talked to Mr Google who tut-tutted, showed me more photos and said I was quite amiss in not recognizing ‘harilik kaokarv’ which supposedly is quite common on Estonian roadsides also . . .when I saw more photos with flowers in full bloom . . . recollections did arrive from the distant past . . . lovely colour to make one happy . . .
Yes, they are often on the roadside here, and there and I think in the Nordic countries
you will enjoy my next post, I did think of you when doing it
Beautiful!
Beautiful macro! We call this gem “Butter and Eggs”. xx
