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.
Desert rose or Japanese Frangipani is an ever green succulent shrub, native of East Africa. It grows 1-3 m. Leaves are spirally arranged, clustered towards the tips of the shoots. Flowers are beautiful, tubular 2 inches long, pink open trumpet shaped. It is a gardeners delight, because when potted, it tend to become a bonsai, which can be kept as an indoor plant. The sap of its roots and stems are poisonous and have been used as an arrow poison for hunting. I took this photograph on 5th September, 2011 at Mysore, in the home garden of the Uncle and Aunt after a shower, in the beautiful evening.
