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.
Its Onam time. Traditionally Onam is incomplete, without floral arrangement in front of Malayalee houses for 10 days from Atham to Thiru Onam day. This year it started yesterday. Invariably the milky white simple leucas flowers are part of the floral arrangement. This plant is distributed throughout India and traditionally used as a medicinal plant. This flower invokes a lot of childhood memories to me, as it has been around me and called my attention as we used this plant juice for any small injury to skin to stop bleeding. However, this plant is plentiful in Mysore and i shot this plant near my house on 24th July 2011.
