Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.

Smiles in the street ...
Scientific name: Bauhinia purpurea
The butterfly tree or the purple orchid tree is an exotic tropical tree that bloom over a long period of time. The orchid like flowers makes it a favourite among plant lovers. When in bloom it is a wonderful sight to watch the beauty of this tree. The petals of purple orchid tree are narrow and do not overlap. As part of social forestry, this tree was planted all along highways, small roads and streets in South Indian states. Even this plant is one such in my street at Mysore, where i was staying earlier. This photograph was taken on 25th August, 2011.
