We stopped in the historical city of Safranbolu , a UNESCO world heritage site. Here we ate some delicious food and shopped around for locally grown Saffron.
Most of the fields I searched looked similar to this; tall grasses and other herbaceous plants conceal the hidden teasure, gold of pleasure (Camelina).
This is a rather interesting Camelina hispida collection I made, while most plants of this species that I have collected have fruits that are adpressed to the inflorescence, this one has fruits that are relatively lax. Perhaps it's a hybrid?
Posing with a great find!
Processing seeds is tedious work! I must separate the large fruit pod debris with a strainer before meticulously removing the smaller particles from the seed.
