'Microhelia' means 'Little Sun' ... and it is named that because of the way the flowers look :)
It is considered to be an endangered species, because it is only found in 5 places in Central Mexico.
It is illegal to collect it from the wild, but it does go on, and that is one of the reasons why it is so rare now.
