Funckia Alpina

Funckia alpina is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the alpine regions of Central Asia. It thrives in cold, high-altitude environments where few other species can survive. Known for its small, star-shaped white blooms, it adds a touch of elegance to rocky mountain landscapes. This plant is often found in crevices and on slopes, where it clings to the soil with resilience. Due to its limited habitat and environmental threats, Funckia alpina is considered a vulnerable species in its native range.
