Rather rare prostrate vine found in sandy places of dry zone. Indigenous. Also found in tropical Africa , tropical Asia and Malaysia . Specimens were collected from Mannar, Kekirawa, Trincomalee, Batticola, Yala national park (Flora of Ceylon Vol 1 – Dassanayaka & Fosberg, 1980). Above picture was taken at Manthei of Mannar district
Forgetting the fact that this flower is rare, the great composition makes this pic a masterpiece in its own right.
ReplyDeletereally like the placement of the flowers among the foliage and sand, a good crop makes all the difference...
Thanks 'Silent Moments' for commenting on composition of above picture:).Actually I hardly consider composition of a picture while posting on this blog since main purpose is not pictorial photography but to make awareness of our wild heritage.:)
