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.
Red crucifix orchid or star orchid is a ground rooting orchid. It has a trend to sprout roots all along the length of the stem. It tolerates wide variety of temperature and environmental conditions. Has got a long umbelliform inflorescence, resupinate flowers clustered in a ball at the apex. At any point of time you will see the same type of flowers in the inflorescence as the young buds have just opened or ready to be opened up the very next day, thus keeping the inflorescence young always. I took this photo on 5th September, 2011 from the uncle's home at Mysore.
