Spider Flower and Coral Zinnias in Summer Bloom

Delicate pink Cleome (Cleome hassleriana), commonly known as spider flower, towers above a vibrant carpet of coral and salmon-colored zinnias. Sunlight washes over the mixed border, highlighting the airy, whisker-like stamens of the Cleome against broad, banana-like tropical foliage and dense woodland greenery in the background. Located within Snug Harbor's lush botanical gardens, this lively display demonstrates the playful contrast of delicate textures and bold summer hues.
