Hepetis Roezlii

Rozel's hepatica, scientifically known as Hepetis roezlii, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of central Europe. It is prized for its early spring blooms, which feature striking blue or purple petals and a distinctive central pattern. This species thrives in cool, moist environments, often found in shaded forest floors or rocky crevices. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Rozel's hepatica is now considered endangered in many areas. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore its natural habitat, ensuring its survival for future generations.
