Mahabharata amongst flowers!


Krishna Kamal is the name given to this attractive, sweet smelling,delicate flower with tender, needle shaped petals in shades of blue and purple. It has 100 petals that resemble Kauravas, on top the 5 petals being Pandavas and above them 3 petals depicting the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, all connected through a single petal wearing the colour of Krishna's aura.

Well, if you had missed it in the woods around you, time you are reminded of this poem!

What is this life if, full of care,we have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass, where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,a poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
