Sida spinosa... by marlboromaam

Sida spinosa...

Non-native wildflower from the tropics and commonly known as Prickly Fanpetals, Prickly Sida, Prickly Mallow, or False-mallow. First-time find for me. It was interesting searching the data base by description to find out what it was. I wasn't sure about the number of petals. It's a tiny and delicate little thing. More about this little wildflower here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=1378

Looking like this will be a month of closeups and macros.
That's a pretty flower.

Nice close-up. Interesting fact about this delicate flower. Always surprising to imagine a plant from the tropic finding a new home so far away!

What a delightful little cup shape it has.

@ljmanning Not quite fully opened, it is shaped like a cup. The tiny blooms only last a day.
