Kalmiopsis Flower

This flower in the picture is called the Kalmiopsis flower, or we call it "K flower" for short. This flower can be pink or purple and these flowers grow on shrubs. Its stems look like cherries and it has little white things sticking out the middle. The K flower lives in rocky areas next to the Umpqua River in the Cascade Mountains. It lives there because of all the water it needs to grow and it can survive a long time without food. If it did eat something it would be the little soil it gets from the rocks. The deer depends on the K flower as it is the only thing that eats this flower. The K also depends on the deer because it needs the deer to poop out the seeds so the K flower can grow more flowers. This is the main reason why the K flower is successful. That's also how the adaptation works for this flower. This flower considers water instead of soil to eat and likes colder areas. The main threat to the K flower is logging and road construction.
