Dwarf Goldenstar

Bloomeria humilis, commonly known as Dwarf Goldenstar, is a perennial herb native to the western United States, particularly found in California’s chaparral and grassland habitats. This species typically grows to a height of 10 to 30 centimeters, forming a low, tufted clump that is well-adapted to its arid environment. The leaves are narrow and linear, emerging from the base of the plant, while the flowers, which bloom in spring, are star-shaped and bright yellow, attracting various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. The fruit is a capsule that contains small seeds, which are dispersed by wind and water, aiding in its propagation across its native range.
