in #killerpix6 years ago


The petai cina tree (Leucaena leucocephala) grows behind my house, in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. Petai cina flower is very beautiful, so I photographed it, a few days ago.

Petai cina or lamtoro, especially fruit, has a number of benefits. Usually this fruits is used for vegetables, there are also used for traditional medicine, and has efficacy for health. Please visit this LINK

However, I was drawn to a beautiful petai cina flower. The flowers in the form of bumps forming a white ball. A number of species were attracted to the this flower. Among them, beetles and locusts are seen coming to the this flower.

This petai cina flower is my entry for the #killerpix contest by @killerwhale with the judges are @topkpop, @tattoodjay, and @oscarps.
