Medicinally for you ...


Scientific name: Punica granatum
The Pomegranate is a shrub that grows 6-15' tall. The plant is native to Caucasus, Himalayas, Northern India and Pakistan. The flowers are beautiful, orange red trumpet shaped with ruffled petals. We had this plant in my home when i was a child. The fruit value of this plant is highly appreciated and is widely cultivated as a horticultural crop. Just by the side of the lawn near my lab where i work presently there are two plants, which flower profusely and bear delicious fruits. I took this photograph on 11th June 2011.
