Stenodraba Fastigiata

Bluebottle, scientifically known as Stenodraba fastigiata, is a strikingly beautiful flowering plant native to the alpine regions of South America. Its name derives from the vivid blue color of its bottle-shaped flowers, which stand out against the rugged mountainous terrain. This perennial plant thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found growing in rocky soils at high altitudes. With its unique appearance and ecological significance, the Bluebottle plays an important role in its native ecosystem. Despite its beauty, it remains a relatively obscure species, known only to a few botanists and nature enthusiasts.
