Campion Flower

campion

Campion or silene tomentosa can only be found in the British territory called Gibraltar. It’s a weak fragrant, evening blooming flower with a short life span. Interestingly, in 1992, the botanical section of Gibraltar officially declared that there are no campion flowers left and became extinct.

But after two years, in 1994, a climber at the cliffs of Gibraltar has rediscovered that Campion flowers still exist, but in inhospitable environments. Today, Campion flowers are only exist in botanical gardens of Gibraltar and London, but very few in numbers.
