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.
Mouse ear coreopsis, or mouse ear tickseed or Auricled tickseed is a perennial herb, but grown as an annual in Indian garden. The species name auriculate means eared, in reference to the ear like lobes at the base of many of the leaves. The flower stalks can be up to 15 cm long. The beautiful petals are golden yellow, elegantly toothed at the tip. This photo was taken on 19th December, 2011 in my sister's home in my native place.
