Haquetia epipactis growing in the Triglav National Park in Slovenia
This surprising and delightful little wildflower grows in open woodlands where it is in partial shade only.
Haquetia epipactis is a low-growing plant with a creeping habit. Its basal leaves are somewhat rounded and the tiny yellow flowers form an umbel in the centre of a ring of bright green bracts that look very much like petals.
Its territory in Europe is Austria, Poland and Slovenia. It flowers from April until the end of June.
