Mimulus Fremontii Var. Viscidus

Fremont's monkeyflower, scientifically known as Mimulus fremontii var. viscidus, is a strikingly beautiful and resilient wildflower native to the western United States. This variant of the monkeyflower is characterized by its vibrant orange petals and glandular leaves that give it a sticky texture. It thrives in dry, rocky habitats and is often found in arid regions of California and Nevada. The plant plays an important role in supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Due to habitat loss and climate change, Fremont's monkeyflower is now considered a species of conservation concern.
