          I love macro photography, particularly flowers, small animals n insects. I posted most of my photos daily to some numbers group of photography including this group. This is the way to keep me busy after pension. As described by Christine Young that this plant is native to desert ground n perhaps was introduced to Indonesia during Dutch occupation in this region long time ago. Thanks

            The picture is indeed great, but its misleading because one would think it grows in nature wither native or introduced. While it is potted in a garden setting .... Posted 5 years ago
