02 MECONOPSIS PSEUDOVENUSTA
Meconopsis pseudovenusta is a flowering plant found in the high-altitude meadows or on talus slopes. To protect itself from ultraviolet rays, the flower needs to accumulate more anthocyanidins, hence appearing blue or purple. Because of the adverse high-altitude environment, most plants of the Meconopsis genus conserve energy by blossoming only once in a lifetime.
