Koeleria Caucasica Var. Denudata

Caucasian koeleria, scientifically known as Koeleria caucasica var. denudata, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of the Caucasus. It thrives in alpine environments where the climate is cool and the soil is well-drained. The plant is characterized by its slender stems and small, grass-like leaves that form a low-growing mat. Its blooms, which appear in early summer, consist of tiny, pale blue to purple flowers that attract pollinators. Due to its limited distribution and fragile habitat, it is considered a species of conservation concern.
