My entry for the 🌸 FLOWER POWER PHOTO CONTEST BY FLAMINGIRL 🌸

Hello friends,
I got the chance to get close to this tiny beautiful pink Indian Fagonia in Sahadry mountain range which is situated of Deccan Plateau in Maharashtra, West India.

Indian Fagonia is a small spiny shrub, covered with whitish powdery or stalkless glands or hairless shrublet. Leaves mostly simple or basal ones trifoliolate and upper simple, leaflets linear-oblong or lanceshaped, 6-35 mm long, 3-4 mm broad, mucronate, short to long leaf-stalkd or stalkless; stipular spines awl shaped, patent to ascending, equal to shorter than leaves, occasionally deficient or minute. Petals are spoon-shaped, about 6 mm long, about 3 mm broad, blunt. Stamens with about 6 mm long filaments. The aqueous decoction of aerial parts of the plant is a popular remedy against various skin lesions, including cancer, in folk medicine.
