Located near the south pole, Calceolaria uniflora is a cold-climate mountain species found in very exposed, well-drained locations. Its normal habitats are coastal and riparian sands and rocks, creeks in scrublands, peat-alpine moors, feldmarks, cliff tops, and savannahs.
Like other true montane plants, Calceolaria uniflora has a shallow root system and is firmly anchored to the ground, no more than 4-5 inches tall. The sacral flowers are about 2 inches long and appear throughout the summer hanging from tall slender stems that grow from a small blade-shaped asterisk.
Extraterrestrial happy plants are also found in rocky terrains in southern regions of South America. So, to an observer, it looks like a completely exotic flowering plant on an alien planet.
The happy alien plant blooms in the summer. The unusual flowers are 2 inches tall and shaped like a punch. The happy alien flowers are a combination of orange and yellow. The flower throat is dark red and also has a white band inside the tray like part of the flower.
The unusual shape of this flower also attracts small birds such as hummingbirds, and they love to eat the white and lip-like part of the flower. Pollen from the upper part of the flower is also deposited on the bodies of birds during their meals. It keeps alien plants happy during pollination.
