The Mini Galaxy flower, once thought extinct, has been rediscovered in the Nuwejaars Wetlands Special Management Area in South Africa. The yellow flower blooms for only a few hours after rain and grows in dangerous locations such as road verges, making conservation efforts challenging. The area in which the Mini Galaxy was found is of significant ecological importance, containing nearly 50% of all remaining Agulhas Sand Fynbos and 20% of Agulhas Limestone Fynbos worldwide, both of which are critically endangered.
