When we visited the Pasir Ris Park recently, we spotted another breed of cosmos flower growing amongst the Orange Cosmos.
This version of the Cosmos flower is in ombre pink (meaning that there's is a graduation of white to pink on its petals).
Not unlike its orange counterpart, the pink cosmos flower attracts both butterflies & bees as shown in the photograph below:
Based on National Park's Flora & Fuana Web, this breed of flower's scientific name is known as the Cosmos caudatus Kunth.
It is also commonly known as Ulam Raja or Pelampong and its leaves were known to be of medicinal value e.g. it is used to increase blood circulation in traditional medicine in the South East Asia.
Its leaves were also consumed as a vegetable in Malay cuisine.
