The native range of this species is East Türkiye to West Transcaucasus. I collected my specimen from the Kaçkar Mountains, where it grows in abundance but only in certain areas and blooms fully in summer. It was exhibited at my solo exhibition Habitat in Çamlıhemşin (2024), and is now part of the exhibition "In Bloom" at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (March–August 2026)
