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.
Yellow ginger lily or cream lily is a perennial herb with leafy shoots growing upto 2 m. It is found in eastern Himalayas from 1200-2300 m altitute. Rhizomes are 3 cm in dia, branched and fragrant. Leaves are oblong to lance shaped, 20-45 cm long, 4-10 cm wide. Flowers are fragrant and borne in erect inflorescence. Flowers and anthers are pale yellow in colour. I have seen this in many home gardens. One day on 29th August 2011 my colleague took me to his brothers home just opposite to the institute to show me some plants and there i took this photograph. I dedicate this flower to his good hart.
