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.

Lazy in the garden ...
Scientific name: Vernonia cinerea
The little iron weed or purple feabane is an annual or short lived perennial grown to a height of 50 cm, with ovate leaves. The stems branch repeatedly to hold the small cylindrical purple flower heads. If flowers throughout the year and has become a pantropical weed. I was curious about this plant as it has grown in my garden as an uninvited guest but pleased me with its tiny cute flower heads! This photograph was taken on 19th December, 2011 just near my sister's home in Trinvandrum district of Kerala.
