Wild tulip, Sierra de La Cabrera, Madrid

They only open this fully on the hottest of days and when the sun is at its highest; an hour or two at most. And because Spain adheres to Central European time, this means between 3 and 5 pm! They really are quite small; miniature wild tulips!

Interesting that they are quite small. I would not have guessed from your picture. Excellent macro.

Thank you, Rosa.
I'd say no more than and inch and a half (approx 4 centimeters) in diameter. And this one was the largest in the vicinity.
