Boechera Duchesnensis

Mouse-ear cress, scientifically known as Boechera duchesnensis, is a small flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of western North America. It is characterized by its delicate, spoon-shaped leaves and clusters of tiny white or yellow flowers that bloom in early summer. This plant thrives in rocky and alpine environments, often growing in open meadows and forested areas at high elevations. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important ecological role by supporting pollinators and contributing to the biodiversity of its habitat. Its resilience and adaptability make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
