Somethings Never Change


Flacourtia inermis
Its the second fruiting seasons near the traffic island. Out of the four only this particular one is flowering is fruiting. A lady was found picking up the fallen berries. Out of curiosity i approached and asked her. She wanted to grow the plant from seeds! Then the nearby team of workers came , one of them volunteered to try to sample one... 'no sweet, sour.. wont die one'. This image was taken in response to my nature kaki - 'show me the pic'.  [ Jan 25 2010 - found the ID by accident..and the fruit is edible and propagates by seeds.]


My neighbors potted plant Blood Lily or Scadoxus multiflorus - Just just a day ago, it was a reddish untidy brush-like protrusions. Today it uncurls and releases into perfect spherical shape - orderly and non chaotic .

Brown out mushroom, a 'pale' mimosa & a cluster of flowers


Calophyllum soulattri
 Finally after several months, the green leaves returned and it even flowered!
[update: It was flowering again on mid March 2010]

Rim view of a brown-out mushroom pairs.


This pale color 'touch-me-not'  mimosa  passes the touch test.( youtube).
