CLEOME serrulata (Rocky Mountain Beeplant) is a species of flowering plant in the family Cleomaceae. It is native to western North America, where it is found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, prairies, and deserts.

Ranges from North to South America, the flower of the Cleome family is well-known because of its rare appearance. The best thing about the flower is it grows on rocky areas, which makes it strong enough to withstand intense weather conditions. Attractive to bees and butterflies, the flower grows under the full sparkled sun. Pink in color, the flower can melt your heart with its look and fragrance.

Rocky Mountain Beeplant typically grows to a height of 30-90 cm, with a branching stem and palmate leaves that are typically 5-10 cm long. The plant produces numerous pink to lavender flowers that are 2-4 cm in diameter and have long stamens that give the flower a fuzzy appearance.

Rocky Mountain Beeplant is a popular garden plant and is often used in wildflower seed mixes, meadows, and other naturalized areas. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil and is relatively easy to grow from seed. The plant is also used in traditional medicine for its diuretic and laxative properties.

In addition to its ornamental and medicinal value, Rocky Mountain Beeplant has ecological value as a source of nectar for pollinators and as a food source for birds and other wildlife. The plant is also considered to have cultural significance for some Native American tribes, who used the seeds for food and the plant for medicinal and ceremonial purposes.
