Which flower art thou?

Posted on August 19, 2004

Last Saturday, I ventured into Lalbagh Gardens at about 8.00 am in the morning and got the shock of my life. That place was crowded! The aim was to take morning shots of the flower show. Unfortunately I had problems loading the film into my camera so I was stuck with browsing around. I did get a few pictures, which I will post in a day or two.

However, I also discovered something during this flower trip. I don’t know the names of flowers. Except the common variety like roses and marigolds I was lost. And none of the flowers had signs enlightening the public. There were about a dozen other photographers around the place and many have put their works online. But like me, most seem to be unaware of flower names!

So if you can help, here are a few that I would really like to know the names of. If you are a flower enthusiast or have your own garden, please do share:

1) Pretty pink flower
2) Aster? Zinnia?
3) The simple white flower with the yellow centre. (not the one with the patterned centre in front)
4) This pretty one

Any clues?

SUN, SAND & SURF: TWO DAYS IN GOKARNA

Posted on October 3, 2005October 3, 2005

The Gokarna trip had been pending for a while. There were about half a dozen folks who were absolutely sure they wanted to go. And of course, as we approached the day of departure, quite a few backed out. Fever, work, sudden loss of interest : there were all kinds of explanations as usual. A predictable trend amongst people who are very enthusiastic to start off with! “Let’s go,” “Gokarna, I would love to go!” “Count me in!” Alas, when the time comes to actually pack up and go, it’s a handful who remain.

Boats going out to sea early morning… Sunrise at Mahabalipuram So a friend and I drove off to Mahabalipuram last weekend. It was a nice scenic drive via NH4. We started off at 5 am in the morning (after sleeping at midnight, such good children we are). It took us…

Market scenes

Posted on June 17, 2005June 17, 2005

Red is one of my favourite colours – vibrant, energetic and peppy. If there’s one thing I like about Indian markets, it’s the plethora of colours you see around you.

    Hmm… I’m far from an expert, but these are what I’d say:

    1) Looks like hollyhocks to me

    http://images.google.com/images?q=hollyhocks

    2) I think those are gerbera daisies

    http://images.google.com/images?q=gerbera+daisy

    3) Not too sure, it’s sort of too blurry for me, but maybe chammomile?

    4) No idea at all, but those are quite lovely!

    Andrea: Could be hollyhocks. Looks very similar. I think the second one is a gerbera. The third and fourth one is a little difficult to make out. Thanks a lot for your help!

    LL: Not to worry! No questions, just click 😉

    1)is One of the Hibiscus Genre ( They do lots of experiments on Hibiscus) the clue is th the leaves and their texture resembles another plant of Hibisus Family Lady’s finger

    2)Second is Aster/Zinia Family flower

    3) and foruth pass

    If u can’t know the name closest one can get is identifying family to which the plant belong .

    Nice pictures … I find this pink cone shaped flower as an artificial one. I also doubt that there is a small camera attached in its centre part. Might be an arrangement by police to monitor the crowd ! And try my link today (given a valid one :O)

    Kiran: Nice pics. Only had some problems identifying some of the flowers. Since I had gone to Lalbagh myself during the flower show I was trying to find out if anyone else had any ideas about the names…

    I had a hard time too. Most of them were not named. Some I guessed by looking at similar flowers in other areas, some were named in Kannada, some I asked about, and the rest just got a number.

    and inferences based on final fantasy how they’re dressed, etc., amy acuff but those are only generalizations weight watchers at best, and stereotypes at pamela anderson worst).
