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 Cat's claw is a woody vine. The name comes from the tripartite, hooked tendrils resembling an animal's claw that enable the vine to adhere to the bark and other surfaces. The stems produce adventitious roots to anchor them tightly to vertical surfaces. The 5 to 10 cm long, tubular flowers have five lobes and are bright yellow with red-orange lines in the throat. This vine is splendidly flowering in Mysore just outside District Magistrate Office. I took this photo in the morning of 11th September, 2011, while on a flower hunt!
