Spiders on a bloom ...


Scientific name: Cleome speciosa
The showy spider flower is a herbaceous plant with beautiful flowers. The flowers are borne in an erect, showy receme at the end of stem. I was thrilled by the beauty of this plant during 2001 August flower show at Lal Bagh, Bangalore. We purchased the seeds and then nurtured this plant in our home garden in Bangalore. This photograph was taken on 30th November 2010 at Sims Park, Coonoor.
