Oreomecon Schamurinii

Schamurin's poppy, scientifically known as Oreomecon schamurinii, is a rare and striking flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. This delicate species is characterized by its vibrant red petals and unique, papery bracts that give it an otherworldly appearance. Found primarily in the Altai Mountains, it thrives in cold, arid environments where few plants can survive. Due to its limited distribution and habitat destruction, Schamurin's poppy is considered endangered and requires urgent conservation efforts. Its beauty and ecological significance make it a symbol of the fragile biodiversity in high-altitude ecosystems.
