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 sensitive plant or touch-me-not is a wonderful and sensitive plant found across the tropical world. Its fern like leaves close up and droop when touched and re-open within minutes. The stem is slender and prickly. Leaves are bipinnae, stalked pale pink or purple flower heads arise from the leaf axils. The small fluffy, ball shaped flowers on bloom in plenty is a wonderful sight! The round to ovoid heads are 8-10 mm in diameter. As children me and my sisters were very curious to touch these plants to see the leaves folding. Even i have seen my daughter doing the same. In Mysore also they are plenty all around and i took this photograph on 31st August, 2011 in the campus of CSRTI, Mysore.
