Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 The other day when I was able to get a garland of Champa flowers for MAA. This is considered to be very auspicious. It has very good fragrance. In fact they make scent out of these flowers. You can see the flower here. http://www.floracopeia.com/gallery/Flowering-Trees/01_flowering_trees Mother mine, to the wild forest I am going, Where upon the champa boughs the champa buds are blowing; To the ksil-haunted river-isles where lotus lilies glisten, The voices of the fairy folk are calling me: O listen! ---Sarojini Naidu, The Golden Threshold Talking about flowers one of the rare flowers which I love is the Naga Linga. It is called so because the flower has a small Siva Linga like protrusion in the middle and a hood like a thousand headed snake. You can see it here. http://mgonline.com/couroupitaG.gif The tree is called the Cannonball tree. It is a native of South America. Jai MAA !!!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 You really enjoy your flowers, don't you! They're really beautiful, and even though the botanists believe they evolved such beauty in order to entice insects, we know the real reason flowers are so beautiful, don't we? Jai Maa!
