My purple blue passion flower vine has climbed my amla tree, and gone on to my neighbour's coconut tree, where it is blooming profusely in the sun. I found this flower on a lower branch.
The tropical lily, crinum, is more than 5 feet high. Its lovely, mild perfume is overcome by the passionflower's cloyingly strong perfume.I don't know the name of this yellow flower in English. In Kannada, we call it
punnaga. Poets have written about this flower. It usually puts forth leaves during the monsoon, but the drought this year has fooled it into putting out profuse flowers.
The pink
calliandra powder puff is my favourite. It flowers 6 times in a year, in dappled shade!
