Rupicapnos

Rupicapnos are delicate flowering plants native to rocky and limestone-rich Mediterranean regions. They have slender, twining stems and heart-shaped, blue-green leaves that enable them to ascend surfaces and effectively utilize limited sunlight. The flowers, resembling small, puffed balloons, display a distinct array of white and pale blue. Adapted to harsh, sparse conditions, rupicapnos flourish by clinging to crevices where moisture and nutrients can accumulate.
