The same Cleome sp as in this photo from the last thread:

As the flower develops the petals curl back. It's reasonably large compared to a lot of our other Cleomes, stamen about 40 to 50 millimetres (about 1.5 to 2 inches). This one is in Stokes Range in the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory. But I've also seen them in the Bungle Bungles in the northwest of Western Australia.
