Bitterroot flower
The Bitterroot flower, scientifically known as *Lewisia rediviva*, is a perennial plant native to the western United States, particularly in the Rocky Mountains. It features delicate pink to white flowers that bloom in spring and grow from a rosette of fleshy leaves. The plant thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine and subalpine environments.
The Bitterroot holds cultural significance for several Native American tribes, who have used it for food and medicinal purposes. The flower is also the state flower of Montana, symbolizing resilience and beauty in harsh conditions. Its unique appearance and adaptability make it a notable species in its native habitat.
