Smiling at the sun ...

Scientific name: Chrysanthemum sp.
Chrysanthemum is a genus of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Amongst florists and in the floral industry, they are commonly referred to as "mums". These are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 50-150 cm tall, with deeply lobed leaves and large flowerheads. They belong to the Sunflower family, Compositae. The blooms come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes. This flower was shot from a commercial crop on 5th February, 2012, on the way to Melkote along with my friend and family somewhere after Pandavapura. Special thanks to him for having taken me to that place!
