Steiractinia Helianthoides

Yellow oxeye, scientifically known as Steiractinia helianthoides, is a striking wildflower native to the mountainous regions of Central Europe. This plant is characterized by its bright yellow petals and a central disk that resembles the sun, giving it its common name. It thrives in sunny, open habitats such as grasslands and rocky slopes, where it adds a vibrant splash of color. With its delicate appearance and ecological importance, the yellow oxeye plays a vital role in supporting local pollinators. Its presence in the landscape highlights the beauty and biodiversity of alpine and subalpine ecosystems.
