Dianthus Gracilis Subsp. Friwaldskyanus

Dianthus gracilis subsp. friwaldskyanus is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Europe. It is known for its small, pinkish-white flowers and narrow, grass-like leaves that give it a unique appearance. This subspecies thrives in rocky and calcareous soils, often found in alpine environments. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this rare botanical gem.
