abstract = "The region of Northern Kosovo and Metohija
is rich in wild-growing geophytes, many of which
have potential for ornamental use. However, the
knowledge about the distribution, abundance, and
potential of these species for the horticultural indus try is limited. This study is based on our own re search conducted continuously in the region of the
northern Kosovo and Metohija, from 2003 to 2023,
as well as on a small number of relevant literature
sources and floristic data. This study aimed to eval uate the ornamental potential of wild-growing geo phytes in the investigated area and to provide rec ommendations for their sustainable exploitation.
The study recommends the protection of species
covered by CITES convention and IUCN Red List
of Threatened species. Using wild-growing geo phytes as ornamental plants can contribute to the
conservation of biodiversity in the region while
providing economic benefits through their commer cial cultivation.",
