The Nuragica Columbine is a flower that hints of the daffodil and whispers of Spring. It is an Italian secret, as it is only found in Sardinia. This delicate flower grows in a gorge along the seasonal Flumineddu River on the nearly vertical limestone cliffs. The number of individuals is very low and they appear to be declining; only 10 -15 individuals are believed to exist. A truly unique population.
The beautiful Nuragica Columbine is facing a high extinction risk due to natural factors rather than human impact.
There is no current legal protection in place Nuragica Columbine, but an action plan is being developed.
