Cerastium Mutabile Var. Brachypetalum

Cerastium mutabile var. brachypetalum is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the alpine regions of Europe. It is known for its small, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring, adding a touch of subtle beauty to rocky slopes and meadows. This variant of Cerastium is distinguished by its shorter petals and compact growth habit, making it a unique addition to botanical collections. Despite its modest size, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecosystem balance. Its limited distribution and fragile nature make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
