A Floral Collection.

I am a plant lover with photography as an enjoyable hobby. The flawless symmetry, vibrant colours and seemingly endless varities and peculiarities of flowers have always fascinated me. So my first tribute to this photography section would be of some pictures i have clicked over the years. Do leave comments and advice.
CLICK PICTURES TO ENLARGE.

My favourite flower. The 'Passion Flower'. Also locally called 'Krishna Kamal' or 'Rakheechur' (as it resembles a rakhee.)


The Yellow Allamanda with a bit of artificial border thrown in.


Assorted flowers picked out from a bouquet.


The Big red Hisbiscus.


A yellow Hibiscus - But not the usual 5 petal variety. It's called a 'Chinese Hibiscus' if i'm not mistaken.


Yellow Hibiscus, with beautiful red core.


A rose caught in the stages of blooming.


One of the reddest roses i've seen.


A big jucy 'Desi Gulab'. Flaunting shades of yellow, light pink and dark pink. Excellent Fragrance of this one.


The flower of the Adenium Obesum.


I don't know what these flowers were called. but they flower just once in their lifetime, and then the whole plant dies. If any of you know the name of this plant, do let me know.

I love taking shots of wild plants and flowers too. First they are beautiful, second they are easier to handle and manipulate, in my opinion. But the problem for me is I don't know plants too much ...
The flower pics here are good ... love to see more of them.
Thanks for visiting my blog and your encouragement!

Yep, it's a kalanchoe. I've got one that looks just like it. It bloomed and didn't die. It's currently ugly as death, but very much alive!

I read your post about mulberries. So true and quite hilarious! If you ever get your hands on about 5 cups of ripe mulberries, I suggest you make a cobbler. Nothing better!
