Description
Persian Buttercup (lat. Ranunculus asiaticus) is a species of buttercup native to the eastern Mediterranean region in southwestern Asia, southeastern Europe (Crete, Karpathos and Rhodes) and northeastern Africa. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 45 cm tall, with simple or branched stems. The basal leaves are three-lobed, with leaves higher on the stems more deeply divided; like the stems, they are downy or hairy. The flowers are 3–5 cm diameter, variably red to pink, yellow, or white, with one to several flowers on each stem. It is a protected species in some jurisdictions, including Israel.

Thank you, Imi. I wasn't too certain that it was a photogenic flower and worked late to come up with an other version called "Heat Waves" - now on FAA.
