Our main goal today is to search for and find a very beautiful and rare plant called The Spring Pheasant’s Eye (Adonis vermalis). While searching for this fantastic plant we came across a lot of other nice flowers. The Pheasant’s Eye has a tuft-like growth habit, grows 10 to 50 cm tall and has stems with some upright branches. The leaves are finely lobed, dark green and have a short stem. Blooms from April to June with intensely yellow, cup-shaped flowers, which are 3.5 to 7.5 cm wide. The flower, which lacks nectar. [1] is "awake" only during the bright hours of the day, and closes to a bud, "closes its eyes," during the night. The plant is very rare in Sweden and even in Scandinavia, as It can only be found in a very few small places on the southern part of the Swedish island of Öland. It can also be found on the Swedish island of Gotland and on the Danish island of Bornholm.
The Spring Pheasant’s Eye (Adonis vernalis) is a perennial flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae. It is found in dry meadows and steppes in Eurasia. More specifically, this plant grows in a wide range of locations which include open forests, forest clearings, dry meadows, mesic steppe, and mostly calcareous soil. Isolated populations are found from Spain in the west across Central Europe with fine examples in Valais, Switzerland, and southern Europe, reaching southern Sweden in the north and Abruzzo in the south, with its main area of distribution being the Pannonian Basin and the West Siberian Plain.
The plant is poisonous, containing cardiostimulant compounds, such as adonidin and aconitic acid. In addition, it is often used as an ornamental plant. Infusions of the plant are used in the medicine Bekhterev's mixture.
While the information of therapeutic usages of Adonis vernalis is low, there has been evidence that Adonis vernalis does have potential therapeutic uses, but research is needed to quantify its therapeutic properties.

Traditional uses:
Due to the cardiac-enhancing effects of Adonis species (including Adonis vernalis), this plant has a history of use in European and Chinese folk medicine. This plant has been utilized for many different issues and health problems. The local people of the Soviet Union at one point used it to treat edema or swelling in the body, and an ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of the plant were prepared as an alternative cardiac agent. In 1879, a Russian medical doctor, N. O. Buhnow, first introduced into medicine alcoholic extracts of the plant as a cardiac stimulant. In 1898, a mixture of the plant extracts with sodium bromide or codeine was suggested (by Vladimir Bekherev) to treat heart diseases, panic disorder, dystonia and mild forms of epilepsy. Aqueous infusions of the aerial parts of the plant have been traditionally used in Siberia against edema, cardiac edema and several other issues that are heart related, kidney diseases, and even malaria. The biological activity of this extract was defined as 50-66 frog units (amount or liquid of substance that causes the arrest of the heart of a frog) and 6.3-8.0 cat units (amount or liquid of substance that causes the arrest of the heart of a cat) and large enough doses can be toxic.
