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.

Smile from the wild ...
Botanical name: Hibiscus radiatus
The red-velvet flowers of Hibiscus radiatus make this species a must-have among the fall and winter blooming varieties of Hibiscus. Like some other short-day bloomers in the genus, this one has long stems that arch over and grow horizontally as the season progresses. Left on its own, this plant will form a wide mound of flowers four foot tall and eight foot or more wide. It's not unattractive, but takes up a lot of space in the garden. This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds. This photographs was taken on 8th September, 2011 from a wild growth just outside my institute.
