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.

Flower tiger ...?
Scientific name: Alstrimeria aurea
The Peruvian lily is native to Chile and Brazil. The plant spread across the world due to its garden value. Many hybrids of this species are cultivated in India also. In the hill stations, it flowers very profusely. The inner tepels are distinctively striped, which to me appears as tiger stripes! I photographed the beauty on 30th Nov. 2010 during my trip to Coonoor at Sims Park.
