Pilosella Aurantiaca Subsp. Auropurpurea

Pilosella aurantiaca subsp. auropurpurea is a striking member of the Asteraceae family known for its vibrant orange and purple flowers. This subspecies thrives in open, sunny habitats such as grasslands and rocky slopes across Europe and parts of Asia. Its unique coloration makes it a popular subject for botanists and gardeners alike. The plant's delicate structure and showy blooms contribute to its ecological importance as a nectar source for pollinators. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively uncommon and is often overlooked in favor of more widespread flora.
