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.

Cup of joy!
Scientific name: Solandra maxima
The cup of gold vine is endemic to Mexico and Central America. The thick and heavy vines crawl and profusely spread over anything with ever shining leaves. It bears very large spectacular bell shaped flowers resembling a cup! I was mesmerized on seeing this flower while attending a conference in Coonoor. It tempted me to go out of the conference hall, as the conference preparations were on. Without bothering the shower and cold wind i was just watching the large flowers and big buds with great amusement. Then many flocked around the tree, to be snapped along the flowers, in the morning of Dece. 2, 2010.
