On a cold winter day what an appealing plant to perceive!
It was taken by me to raise awareness on the importance of plants, trees and shrubs to the world we live in today.
The colours of its petals shine through the mist of the heavenly green leaves in which they are topographically rare in London’s Garden.
Typically it only grows up to a length of 6 to 50cm and is commonly found in dry areas. This plant is also known as an Upright Bindweed or Erect Bindweed. What a distinctive name to label a plant!
Their shape is almost like a funnel shape blooming on top of the ground.
From a distance, it looks like a piece of waste blown from the wind but only when you look closer at it you can see the uniqueness of its design and the petal structure.
Plants and flowers actually help the ecosystem around us. It has been established that planting flowers in and outside the house can significantly reduce an individual's stress levels.
Do plants have an impact on your life?
