A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Tinantia anomala
False Dayflower is an erect annual reaching one to two feet in height. Two large lavender petals and one small white petal make up the flower. The petals and stamens together give the flower the appearance of having a face. The clasping leaves average two to four inches in length. False Dayflower grows in the moist soils of the Edwards Plateau region and blooms from April to July.

Yes I think that is the greater mission of all of the regional (flower) missions when taken together. :-)
I guess I misunderstood the mission statement, which says they want to build a photo collection of flowers from around the world.
Hello! I just wanted to let you know that a spotting needs to be within the range for geographically based missions. So while a plant mightt have originated in Oceania, it needs to be spotted in Oceania to be a part of the mission. Cheers
