Eriogonum Deflexum Var. Baratum

Eriogonum deflexum var. baratum is a unique variant of the sticky evening-primrose known for its striking floral display. Native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States, this plant thrives in harsh, sun-scorched environments. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of yellow flowers make it a standout in desert landscapes. Despite its tough growing conditions, it plays an important role in local ecosystems by providing nectar for pollinators. This resilient plant is both a botanical curiosity and a symbol of the region's ecological diversity.
