Bee Spiderflower, Cleome serrulata


This was a new plant for me, seen on a long day trip to south eastern Alberta, to botanize the Purple Spring Sand Dunes on 27th June. This native wildflower, Cleome serrulata, goes by various common names including Beeplant, Spiderflower, Pink Cleome, Rocky Mountain Beeweed, Rocky Mountain Beeplant, Bee Spiderflower, stinking clover, and Navajo spinach. It grows on disturbed prairie and sandy roadsides, and blooms June-July.
"It is an annual plant growing to 10-150 cm tall, with spirally arranged leaves. The leaves are trifoliate, with three slender leaflets each 1-7 cm long. The flowers are reddish-purple, pink, or white, with four petals and six long stamens." From Wikipedia.
