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 Mexican prickly poppy is a prickly, hairless, branching herb with yellow juice and showy yellow flowers. It is an invasive weed from American continents. The yellow flowers occur at the end of the branches. The plant is toxic to animals and cattle. It has got many medicinal values. According to Ayurveda, it is diuretic. While searching plants for my research work, i was attracted by the beauty of this plant and collected this one for experiments on silkworm. This photograph was taken on 25th August, 2011 near my home in Mysore.
