The Living Forest (156) : Mountain Cornflower
The native area where the Mountain Cornflower was originally found are the mountains of southern Europe.
However, this wildflower now grows rare to moderate in the wild (mainly woodland glades) all over Europe and North-America (and is getting popular in gardens as well).
The leaves of the plant are a delicacy for squirrels.
