Description
I was amazed with the fact that this is a cotton flower when I saw it at Allan Garden Conservatory. The folding and the laced-like white petals are so much like a beauty in white-laced satin dress. I truly believe if it is beauty from nature, we do not need to use any artificial texture to spoil its natural beauty

Gossypium is the cotton genus. It belongs to the tribe Gossypieae, in the mallow family, Malvaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions from both the Old and New World. The genus Gossypium comprises around 50 species, making it the largest in species number in the tribe Gossypioieae. New species continue to be discovered The name of the genus is derived from the Arabic word goz, which refers to a soft substance
Cultivated cottons are perennial shrubs most often grown as annuals. Plants are 1 - 2 m high in modern cropping systems, sometimes higher in traditional, multiannual cropping systems, now largely
disappearing. The leaves are broad and lobed, with three to five (or rarely seven) lobes. The seeds are contained in a capsule called a "boll", each seed surrounded by fibers of two types. These fibers are the more commercially interesting part of the plant and they are separated from the seed by a process called ginning. At the first ginning, the longer fibres, called staples, are removed and these are twisted together to form yarn for making thread and weaving into high quality textiles. At the second ginning, the shorter fibers, called "linters", are removed, and these are woven into lower quality textiles (which include the eponymous Lint).
