Regarding writing on PIX,I have noted my mistake, but plz note,   it was
for sharing within my contacts; who R on .
Since I use PC, for watsapp, So, I  was not sure; if I send pix first 
then comment;was afraid tht  it might get lost both the connections, (new
to watsapp at PC) hence that writing on pix, very sorry should have send
original Photo.  it is really not meant for copy-writing, please
understand my problem,  forgive me plz. Sorry for this nuisance.

 *Greetings,

  this photo of mine a flora picture of  the year2010 has nothing to do
 with photography of flower  but it is more related to the sigihting of
 commelina in Uttarakhand.

 When I began my nature trails with BNHS, this was the first flower which
 made me very curious  because of its beauty and excelleent photgraphy being
 tiny; there was an insertion in one of the calendar of BNHS, I don't
 remember the year, this is only for your information please.

 *
 *then after Many a time I saw this flower  but was most delighted when I
 saw it at Uttarankhand **In August, 2010 during trek to Valley of
 Flowers with my trekmates; *
 **
 *This one is taken during my return journey from Ghangaria to Govindghat
 on 24th August, 2010.*

 Would appreciate the ID,

 Not to start any contravercy but a question is always discussed on every

 Will we call such plants grown from seeds from some fruits originally not

 Is this question allowed on this forum?

*
Dear Nature Lovers,*
Greetings from oikos !
Wilderness areas are full of surprises. Due to seasonality plants blossom at
different times. So all of a sudden green landscape gets dotted with bright
flowers like this one Agnishikha / Kal lawi” This seasonal climber
flowering during September grows in association with clusters of existing
thorny vegetation. So its habitat is very crucial and needs to be preserved
! *Regards,
Ketaki  Manasi.

* Kal lawi / Agnishikha
Scientific name: Gloriosa superba
Family: Liliaceae
This seasonal herbaceous climber grows in clusters in association with other
shrubs and trees. It is seen commonly throughout India. If observed
carefully, one can notice gradual change in flower colour... at first
greenish later becoming yellow and finally yellow  scarlet or crimson.
Bright red and yellow colored flowers just look like a flame, so called
'Agni shikha'. Underground tuberous rhizome remains dormant till next
monsoon. Rhizome is medicinal and is useful in inducing labour pain so the
marathi name ‘kal lawi'.

2010-07-07 Thread Geeta Rane
Greetings,
I suspected when I smelled the fragrance, but wanted to refer book to
confirm which was not handy, my impatience forced me to drop the pictures,
sorry for the inconvenieces, if any

but very pleased to see the young tree of Couroupita guianensis (Cannon Ball
Tree) as Mr Adittyaji said it is commonly called Kailasapati.

On most saturdays from my Bus journey; I watch two tall  old trees fully
loaded with flowers/balls and wanted to go near to them to feel them, really
amazing to know that Kailasapati was regularly watching me, just kidding,

I will try to inform the authority of that campus about the huge growth!
Coz it is at the main gate of the building and the place is only enough for
that of Bark seen in the picture.

One Flame Tree in the front of it has been recently removed, I personally
don't know but apparantly; to my knowledge; it was blocking the view of the
said building  could be the reason of removing/cutting of flame tree.

Millions of thanks to all of you and the group to help me experience this
first flower of the tree I have been watching since December, 2008.

Thanks again,
With Prayers,

[efloraofindia:39249] Areca catechu tree in the backyard of office building at Churchgate The Supari

2010-06-23 Thread Geeta Rane
Areca catechu,
Location: Backbay, Churchgate, Mumbai.
Date: 22/06/2010

As a fruit/nut I have seen this as an ingredient in the chewing pan as also
 traditional mouth fresheners which are manufactured using various perfums
and flavors.
Of course alike Coconut; the Supari has a special place in our Indian rites
beginning from that of our arrival (Birth) to this beautiful world.

Never had an opportunity to see the tree, I remember the first tree seen in
Coorg in Karnataka during the trek, I liked its handsome tall look. Ya, till
that time I knew it is a tall tree like coconut! thats all,

was very surprised when I saw the rows of trees behind my office building.
it is growing in the cemented ground  is tall upto second floor of my
office premises,

some colleagues are surprised to see this supari tree..(mm
was happy ok m not that bad!!!)

 --+-- This Story Originally Ran as #173: 8 September 2000 --+--

 The Tree Story Editor:
 by Amberly Neese Joyce Schowalter
 California, USA

 My husband's grandmother, Mary, had always been an agriculture artist.
 She took such painstaking joy in her beautiful gardens, and each
 component of her yard vividly illustrated her passion for plants. When
 she and Grandpa moved from one part of southern California to another,
 she viewed her new garden as a new adventure and immediately went to
 work.

 However, there was a fruit tree in the middle of the yard that refused
 to bear fruit despite Grandma's nurturing. As a voracious reader, she
 studied all she could on fruit trees in an attempt to find some hint to
 encourage her fruit tree to blossom. She spoke to the tree, sang to the
 tree, reasoned with this tree -- all to no avail.

 Finally, she contacted the California Department of Agriculture and
 asked to speak to a manager.

 She explained her challenges to the man on the other end of the phone,
 took notes on his every word, and determined that she would adhere to
 his advice. After reciting a long list of hints, all of which she had
 already done, he made a dramatic suggestion. He told her to hit the base
 of the tree with a broomstick to stimulate its roots.

 Concerned about what the neighbors might think of a woman in her
 seventies beating a tree, Grandma looked both ways before taking the end
 of a broom to the stubborn fruit tree. She knew that the vibrations
 would indeed find their way down to the atrophied root system and
 invigorate the tree, but she doubted that fruit would be the result of
 such an unorthodox approach.

 To her shock and amazement, the next spring the tree bore much fruit.
 Her grandchildren enjoyed the product of the tree for years to come, and
 each year the fruit was more plentiful and healthy. We would often laugh
 together at how silly this beautiful elderly woman must have looked to
 anyone watching as she hit the defenseless tree. The story will always
 serve as a great source of joy for our family.

 A few months before her death, when I was going through an especially
 difficult time, I called Grandma for advice. We reminisced about the
 tree story and she reminded me that it was the times of adversity for
 the tree that allowed its greatest strength and value to come to
 fruition. She lovingly reflected that my roots were being stimulated by
 the personal trials I was facing, and that I would be a more fruitful
 'tree' because of them.

 She was not only an amazing gardener, she was a wise grandma.

 Just Have Your Luggage Ready (#688) praised a cab driver during

 duty to help a couple on their honeymoon. Wes in Utah replies, I
 usually can imagine myself doing many of the acts that your stories
 describe. But this story astonished me. This man spent parts of two days
 to help complete strangers. He invested his time to talk to his friend
 who had the mansion, and from the description, probably usually did not
 rent it out. He spent his time on the second day to pick the couple up
 and take them to their new location. Not every person would have the
 idea, but fewer still would follow through.

 disappointment of this newlywed couple at their terrible surroundings on
