Clarkia Rubicunda

Clarkia rubicunda is a striking annual plant native to the western United States. It is known for its vibrant red and pink flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. This species thrives in sunny, well-drained soils and is often found in open grasslands and rocky areas. Its showy blossoms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to local ecosystems. Despite its beauty, Clarkia rubicunda is threatened by habitat loss and invasive species.
