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.
The Virginia spiderwort or Lady's tears is a herbaceous plant found mainly in US with alternate, single leaves on tubular stem. It is cultivated as a garden plant in colder parts of India. Flowers are blue, purple to pinkish red with 3 petals, which are broadly ovate. In the centre, there are 6 erect yellow stamens. The flower closes by mid day. This plant is maintained in a pot at Silkworm Satellite Breeding Station, Coonoor, a unit of Central Silk Board. This photograph was taken on the wet morning of 1st December, 2010.
