I think about Calendula ?

I also thought Calendula but would like to see more foliage.

Is this in a garden, in the wild, or in an area likely to have both native and introduced plants? I too thought Calendula, but then realized the post was from Algeria, so it could certainly be something I've never seen before.

Hi ! thank you Carol and Mytime ! yes the area has both native and introduced plants. I think this was in an area where there is a village, not far from the pear tree. Actually the pix are not mine, but of a friend.

Thank you both for your help and enlightment.

Leaves behind may indicate Arctotis.

Thank you Bboy! I'll look it up also !

I checked Arctotis ! The petals are pointed ! The petals of the flower I have have 3 dents ! so most probably Calendula !?

or osteospermum (tripteris sinuata or hyoseroides - continual name changes) - more like one of the african daisies (ursinia, arctotis, gazania etc.) than calendula, I think.

We would like to see a photo of the foliage, please.

I've grown lots of calendula and that is what it looks like to me.
