Centaurea Phyllocephala Var. Belangeriana

Phyllocephala centaury, scientifically known as Centaurea phyllocephala var. belangeriana, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. This variant of the centaury genus is characterized by its unique leaf structure and vibrant, spiky blooms that appear in late summer. Growing in rocky and arid environments, it has adapted to thrive in harsh conditions with minimal water. Its delicate appearance contrasts with its resilience, making it a subject of interest for botanists and horticulturists alike. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated and often overlooked in the wild.
