RHH's photos with the keyword: cleome

Also photographed at Fortynine Palms Oasis in Joshua Tree National Park, this shrub is, I believe, the Bladder pod Bush, Cleome isomeris.

Photographed in Canning Park in Singapore, this has been identified by Maureclaire as a Cleome (thanks!), but certainly is beautiful by any name. This will probably be the last of my Singapore pictures at least for a while. I have some other things I want to post. One friend, zxgirl, has mentioned that these are sometimes called Dr. Seuss plants, and I can see why. I did a search on the subject of Dr. Seuss plants, however, and while this one is called that so is every other weird and strange plant.
