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.
Lemonia is a rare and beautiful large shrub. It grows to a height of 5 m, but in gardens it can be shaped into a shrub. The flowers are bright dark pink. The petals have a graining and hard texture and has a curious flattened appearance. This plant is beautifully maintained in the Sericulture Engineering Division of CSRTI, Mysore. I am thankful to my friend and colleague for introducing me to this plant. It was photographed on 16th September, 2011.
