Isotoma rivalis
Isotoma rivalis is a petite, perennial herb that flourishes in well-drained, sandy soils, often found in open woodlands and grasslands. Its delicate appearance belies a hardy nature, with a profusion of star-shaped, vivid blue flowers atop slender stems that dance in the breeze, a beacon for pollinators. Isotoma rivalis's leaves are small and lanceolate, arranged in a basal rosette, optimizing sunlight capture.
