Macro close up on the wildflowers and a view of Mentzelia Laevicaulis Flower ~Turkish: Sarı Parlak Yaban Çiçeği or Sarı Marmara Yaban Çiçeği~ in Çamlıca Village (Çamlıca Köyü), Hendek District of Adapazarı Province, Turkey in summertime. Wild Flowers are of special interest to flower lovers. Most wild flowers are beautiful, fragrant and colorful. Wild Flowers can be grown in gardens and just about anywhere else.

The star-shaped flower has five narrow, pointed petals with shiny yellow surfaces, each up to 8 centimeters long. Between the petals are long, thin yellow sepals. The center of the open-faced flower is filled with a great many whiskery yellow stamens. Mentzelia was named by Linnaeus in honour of Christian Mentzel (1622-1701), a German physician, botanist and lexicographer. The epithet laevicaulis (laevi = smooth caulis = stalk) refers to the comparatively smooth stems of this species in comparison to other Mentzelia species.
