Chamaecytisus Ratisbonensis Var. Pirinicus

Chamaecytisus ratisbonensis var. pirinicus is a rare and striking shrub native to the high altitudes of the Pirin Mountains in Bulgaria. It is known for its vibrant red flowers that bloom in late spring, adding a splash of color to the rocky landscape. This variety of the common broom is adapted to harsh, alpine conditions, thriving in cool and moist environments. Its unique appearance and limited distribution make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists. Despite its beauty, it remains threatened by habitat loss and climate change.
