"Deathly white" unknown plant flower at UP Clark





Some may like the flower, but I find it strangely solemnly sad to look at.


And it is not still identified, though it is commonly called IVORY flowers. I have posted the photo in Facebook and will give P100.00 to the first one who can properly identify it.


Identified today, February 13, 2013 as Calotropis Gigantea by Dinah Canada.
