Scutellaria Regeliana Var. Ikonnikovii

Regel's skullcap, scientifically known as Scutellaria regeliana var. ikonnikovii, is a rare and striking plant native to the high-altitude regions of Central Asia. This unique variant of the skullcap genus is characterized by its vivid blue and purple flowers, which bloom in summer and attract a variety of pollinators. Despite its beauty, it remains poorly studied due to its limited distribution and challenging growing conditions. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this delicate species from habitat loss and climate change. Its existence highlights the biodiversity of mountain ecosystems and the need for continued botanical research.
