Chamerion Caucasicum

Caucasian fireweed, scientifically known as Chamerion caucasicum, is a striking plant native to the mountainous regions of the Caucasus. It is renowned for its vibrant pink to red flowers that bloom in late summer, creating a dramatic visual display in the wild. This species thrives in rocky and alpine environments, often growing in clusters along slopes and in meadows. Its common name reflects its fiery appearance, which resembles a flame in full bloom. Despite its beauty, it is also valued for its ecological role in supporting pollinators and stabilizing soil in harsh climates.
