Comandra Umbellata

Comandra umbellata is a unique flowering plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring bright yellow flowers that bloom in clusters atop slender stems. This species thrives in rocky soils and is adapted to withstand extreme temperatures and drought conditions. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its subtle presence in harsh environments. Its ecological importance lies in its role as a food source for native pollinators and its resilience in challenging climates.
