This flower is named after the beautiful city of Mysore. It is called the Mysore Mallow. It grows wild in all the vacant plots here. You can see the bee in the flower if you click on it.
The white trumpet flowers of the Datura are originally from the Americas. You can see the lovely trumpets in most vacant sites.
The Belly-ache plant
Jatropha gosypifolia has pretty red flowers. It is often mistaken for the Castor oil plant. It is also toxic, but not as much as the Castor.
The wild Brinjal has edible fruit, which is supposed to have many medicinal uses.

Very pretty pictures! I really like the contrast between the deep red and the sulfur yellow in the Mysore mallows.
ReplyDeleteThe Mysore Mallow is a lovely flower. Looks similar to the Okura (ladies finger) flower that you can see here: http://japanesegarden.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/cimg0509.jpg
