An Crobh Dhearg

Tá an crobh dearg coitianta go leor sa Bhoirinn agus in áiteanna i gContae na Gaillimhe. Is annamh a fhaightear é in áiteanna eile in Éirinn. Planda mór is ea é a bhfuil gearrthacha doimhne ina dhuilleoga agus gais chlúmhacha fúthu. Cúig pheiteal agus dath corcardhearg orthu a bhíonn ar na bláthanna agus iad le feiceáil idir mhí an Mheithimh agus mí Lúnasa.
