Hieracium Cremnanthes

Hieracium cremnanthes is a striking member of the daisy family known for its vibrant yellow flowers and robust growth. Native to the mountainous regions of western North America, this plant thrives in rocky and sunny environments. Its common name, "Rocky Mountain hawkweed," reflects both its habitat and its bold appearance. Despite its beauty, it is often mistaken for other similar species due to its distinctive yet subtle features. This plant plays an important role in local ecosystems by supporting pollinators and contributing to biodiversity.
