Monopsis decipiens

Monopsis decipiens is a delicate, perennial herb distinguished by its vivid, lobed flowers that seem to flutter like butterflies atop slender, wiry stems. Thriving in rocky, well-drained soils, its foliage forms low-growing rosettes, adapting to its native mountainous terrain by staying close to the ground to resist harsh winds.
