Rocketing the visual treat ...


Scientific name: Consolida ajacis
Larkspur or rocket larkspur is a fascinating plant group with colourful blooms from white to blue to violet. This tall growing flower blooms in the spring. Native to Eurasia, it has spread across the continents and thrives well in cooler climate. The vibrant colour feast is a sight to watch, especially during flower shows. I took this photo on 3rd December, 2010 at Coonoor while attending a Conference. Just outside the conference hall,  it was calling me from a flower bed.
