Senecio Pseudosonchus Var. Polycephalus

Blueweed, scientifically known as Senecio pseudosonchus var. polycephalus, is a striking plant native to southern Africa. It is characterized by its vibrant blue flowers and distinctive, fluffy seed heads that catch the wind. Despite its beauty, it is often mistaken for more common weeds due to its small size and inconspicuous appearance. This plant thrives in arid and semi-arid environments, making it a resilient species in harsh climates. Its unique features make it both an ecological asset and a subject of botanical interest.
