Zeltnera beyrichii
Mountain Pink (Rock Rose gentian) is an exquisite native wildflower endemic to dry limestone hilltops and caliche outcrops across Central Texas. Forming perfectly symmetrical, globe-like domes packed with hundreds of brilliant pink five-pointed star flowers, it creates breathtaking spring displays. Because it relies entirely on seed reproduction in thin rocky soils, preserving its flowering populations is vital for regional native seed banks.
