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.
The Umbrella Palm or Umbrella Plant or Umbrella papyrus is a wonderful plant with thin blades arranged like an umbrella. This fabulous marginal water plant, native of the swamps of Madagascar. This is a close relative of the Nile papyrus. The umbelliform inflorescence is composed of 10-20 small clusters of green-white tiny flowers. It appears at the end of the stems, on top of the leaf shaped bracts. I had this plant during 1988 while pursuing my computer course, staying with my aunt in Nagercoil. This photo i took on 3rd Sept. 2011 near the institute gate, where i am presently working.
