Garnotia Elata

Bluebell, scientifically known as Garnotia elata, is a striking flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of southern Africa. With its delicate, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of blue and purple, it captivates both botanists and nature enthusiasts alike. The plant thrives in rocky soils and is often found in open woodland or scrubland environments. Its unique appearance and ecological significance make it a valuable addition to native flora. Despite its beauty, Garnotia elata remains relatively rare and is often threatened by habitat loss and climate change.
