Smiling and smiling and ...


Scientific name: Pericallis x hybrida
Cineraria or Florist's Cineraria are beautiful plants which provide a splash of color to garden in winters and spring. The hybrid was first developed in the British royal gardens in 1777. This large leaved annual produces a bouquet of bright colored flowers in pink, purple and blue, and also in pastel shades. The Cineraria is a free-blooming, brilliant, and easily-grown plant. Easily raised from seed, almost hardy, blooming in winter and spring, it is a most valuable plant. This photograph was taken from Sims Park, Coonoor in the afternoon of 27th April, 2011 while on a family trip.
