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.
This soldier's friend is native to Northern hemisphere and spread to Europe, Asia and Africa. In Greek mythology, Achilles used this plant to treat the wounds of his warriors. The leaves have the ability to stop bleeding. The tea made of this plant is beneficial for colds and fevers, as it enhances sweating of the body. The flower comes in many beautiful shades and colours. Hundreds of flowers together in the flower stalk gives the apearance of a colourful umbrella, a treat indeed to enjoy. I took this photo on 30th Nov. 2011 at Sims Park, Coonoor.
