Caltha Palustris Var. Guerangerii

Caltha palustris var. guerangerii is a rare and delicate flowering plant known for its striking yellow blooms. Native to wetlands and bogs in northern regions, it thrives in moist, acidic soils. This variant of the marsh marigold is named after the French monk Guéranger, who documented its beauty. Its flowers appear in early spring, often before the leaves, adding a splash of color to otherwise bleak landscapes. Due to habitat loss, this plant is now considered endangered and requires careful conservation efforts.
