Mountain threadplant (Nemacladus montanus)

Mountain threadplant

Mountain threadplant is a modest, mountain-dwelling herb known for its slender stems and small, bell-shaped flowers that may camouflage among the rocks and sparse vegetation. Its delicate frame often carries a faint bluish or purple hue, a nod to its harsh alpine habitat where it endures cool temperatures and gusty winds, relying on its low profile and annually-blooming nature for survival.
