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.
Very popular plants, some of them for the foliage and others for the beautiful flowers. These are found the gardens all across the world. In the same plant, these monoecious plants bear unisexual male and female flowers separately. Way back in 1988, when i was pursuing computer studies, staying with my aunt in Nagarcoil (Tamil Nadu), i had a collection of more than 35 varieties of Begonias! As an ardent collector, i was amused by the beauty of the foliage – its shape, colour, pattern, etc., so also the beauty of flowers. I was astonished by the interest shown by my well wisher, colleague and friend, around this beautiful flower when he took me to the home, where he stays with the uncle and aunt. The evening of 5th Sep. 2011 will remain fresh in my memory for many days. This flower is especially for him for the wonderful evening.
