Sternbergia Colchiciflora Subsp. Etnensis

Sternbergia colchiciflora subsp. etnensis is a rare and striking plant native to the volcanic highlands of Sicily. It thrives in harsh, rocky environments where few other species can survive. Known for its vibrant yellow flowers, it blooms in late winter or early spring, adding a burst of color to the landscape. This subspecies is closely related to other members of the Sternbergia genus, which are commonly found in Mediterranean regions. Due to its limited habitat and increasing threats, it is considered a valuable subject for botanical study and conservation efforts.
