| Stachytarpheta urticifolia | 21 09 2024 | North Acèh Regency, Acèh, Indonesia |
I discovered this beautiful wildflower, Stachytarpheta urticifolia, around the edge of a small forest in the village during an evening walk. Initially, I was attracted to its bright purple color which contrasted with the surrounding green environment. This flower grows low, but its presence is quite striking among the grass and bushes.
I approached this flower carefully so as not to disturb any small life that might be nearby. After taking a closer look, it can be seen that this simple but attractive flower shape actually has its own charm, with its thin petals and slightly protruding center. This flower also seems to be a favorite for small insects, some insects were seen landing for a while before flying back.
This moment is an exciting opportunity to understand more about the beauty of the wild flora around us.
