구실바위취 (Mukdenia rossii)

Delicate white stars blooming in the shadows — this is Mukdenia rossii, commonly known as Korean rockfoil. Native to East Asia, this perennial plant thrives in shady, rocky forest slopes. Its finely fringed petals and reddish stamens give it a quiet elegance, standing out against its glossy, fan-shaped leaves.

Often found in Korea’s cool mountain woodlands, the Korean rockfoil marks the transition from spring to summer with a subtle burst of white.
