Acronia Adonis

Adonis flower, scientifically known as Acronia adonis, is a striking plant native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe. Its vibrant yellow petals and delicate structure make it a notable sight in alpine meadows. Despite its beauty, the Adonis flower is also known for its toxic properties, containing harmful alkaloids that can be dangerous to humans and animals. This plant has a long history of use in traditional medicine, though its medicinal benefits are often outweighed by its risks. Due to habitat loss and overharvesting, the Adonis flower is now considered a vulnerable species in many areas.
