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.

Colourful smile ...
Scientific name: Coleus blumei
This attractive foliage plant is great for containers and borders. Most annuals are grown for the color their flowers provide. Instead of colorful flowers, coleus offers incredibly colorful foliage in a variety of interesting shapes and sizes. Although coleus will usually survive in sun, the color of the leaves is enhanced in the shade. Small, insignificant flowers will appear late summer. This photograph was taken on 1st December 2011 at the horticultural park near Mysore Palace.
