Cleome Serrulata (or a close relative)


Also called Spider-Flower and Rocky Mountain Bee-Plant. This picture is from the desert maybe 20 miles outside of Arco. I have a picture ofthe same flower (or a near-identical relative) taken below Bridalveil Falls. Hmm... "Spiderflower is said to have saved Navajos from starvation several times." Though apparently they smell bad until they're cooked.
