Erodium Petraeum Subsp. Valentinum

Erodium petraeum subsp. valentinum is a lesser-known member of the geranium family found primarily in rocky and arid environments. This subspecies is known for its delicate, pinkish flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer. It thrives in well-drained soils and is often seen growing on limestone or sandstone outcrops. Due to its limited distribution, it is considered a rare and endemic plant in certain regions. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique species from habitat loss and environmental changes.
