Phryne Columnae

Bluebell, scientifically known as Phryne columnae, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of southern Africa. This enchanting species is celebrated for its striking blue petals that resemble tiny bells, hence its common name. Found primarily in rocky outcrops and moist woodlands, the bluebell thrives in cool, shaded environments. Its blooming period typically occurs in late spring, adding a burst of color to the landscape. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the bluebell is now considered endangered, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
