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.
Scientific name:Jatropha podagrica The plant is also known as Australian bottle plant or Budha Belly. As the name suggests, the plant has a bottle or belly shaped trunk with clusters of tiny, coral like flowers on long stems and large lobbed leaves, which gives an unusual look. The flowers grow in long stems and are brilliant red in colour, which stand out from the leaves. I observed this plant in many homes and its fruits are very familiar to me, as it is similar to that of common Jatropha. This photograph was taken on 3rd September, 2011 just outside the Directors chamber of CSRTI, Mysore.
