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 Lily of the Nile or Calla lily is native to Southern Africa. If Afrikaans name gives the name that it is pig's ear. This is an elegant and prominent garden plant, a clump forming herbaceous plant arising from tubers with large arrow shaped leaves. The flower consists of orange-yellow finger like spathe surrounding a white spadix. This flower is considered a symbol of purity. These are used as cut flowers for floral arrangement and bridal bouquet. During many of my trips to Sims Park, Coonoor, i have noticed this plant near the glass house. This photograph was taken during my family trip with my sister-in-law, her hubby and kids on 26th April, 2011. As the kids were playing in the lawn, i quetly moved near this plant and took the snap.
