Cautionar Dolionis- A Wild Flower Growing Near You



Picture a brightly colored plant with barely a stem, leaves, or roots. Its rotund petals seem to be the only thing that can be seen above ground. It blooms like a wildflower along the sides of roads and trails. Sometimes they can be spotted in clumps in the parks and places. Most of the time they grow to be a vibrant orange color. Though sometimes the blooms are yellow or green. Most are striped with yellow patterns as well. The petals seem to shine or glow when the light hits them just right. With barely a stem or roots the Cautionar Doloinis gets tossed up in the wind and storms easily. 
Some peculiar things about these interesting specimens is that the primates in the area tend to avoid them. It's like an instinct. And we don't know exactly how they reproduce. Some are blown by the weather, and others are distributed by the help of primates or other creatures.
These flowers like others tend to bloom during the commencement of spring and continue to bloom in full force throughout the summer and lingering into the late fall. Below is a picture of the Cautionar Dolionis in its natural habitat.
