Dry Tropical Biome (Boerhavia diffusa L.)

This is an annual or subshrub that grows primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome. It is used as animal food, a poison and a medicine, has social uses and for food. This time I found dry tropical biome (Boerhavia diffusa L.) which actually can also be found somewhere around neighborhood. However, this was found when I had a nature walk on the weekend in tropical forest. This typical plant is distributed throughout tropical countries, and Indonesia is one of its best homes to live in. This flower worth a shot and I tried to take it from various angles in order to see the different side of the subject. The thing that amazed me was the beauty of the color that made me hard to turn away before taking its photos. Although, this kind of flower is probably easy to find, it still brings the awesomeness of the color the characteristic of its existence. Small white flowers. Petals have thread-like filaments that look very artistic. It’s tiny, it’s underfoot, and really, it’s rather insignificant. But if the curious passerby were to halt for just a moment, and quietly crouch down to take a closer look, they’d be rewarded with a captivatingly delicate flower, of a shade of lavender most pleasing to the eye.
