I was delighted to see for the first time this shy prerennial in bloom last week. It grows only in the heights of Mt Hermon and appears again in the Southern Sinai Mountains.

This is the closest I could get with a 1-1 macro lens. It is a flwoer of Bolanthus hirsutus, a few days ago I posted a general look of this rare plant.

Bolanthus hirsutus is a shy perennial mountain plant, found on the summits of the Middle East arid Mts. Here u can see its last flowers and open capsules, dispersing their tiny seeds.
