Cardaria Fenestrata

Fenestrated mustard, scientifically known as Cardaria fenestrata, is a flowering plant native to parts of Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive leaf structure, which features perforations or holes, giving it its common name. This annual herb grows in dry, disturbed soils and is often found in fields and along roadsides. The plant produces small yellow flowers that bloom in the summer months, attracting various pollinators. Despite its modest appearance, Cardaria fenestrata plays a role in local ecosystems and has been the subject of botanical study for its unique morphology.
