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.
Indian mulberry is an ever green shrub or small tree, growing up to 5 - 10 m tall. The stem is short and crooked with rough bark with longitudinal cuts. Leaves are oppositely arranged, 15-25 cm long, oblong to to lanceolate. Flowers occur in spherical heads, 3-5 cm across in 2-3 cm long. Flowers are tubular, white, scented and about 2 cm long. This small tree is common in my native place in Kerala. My father used the wood of these tree to make agricultural equipment/stool/stand etc. Recently during my visit to native place, i took this photograph on 23rd Dcember 2011 from a piece of land owned by me.
