Wild Flower Wednesday

I love wild flowers. In India , wild flowers are not cultivated- they grow in the wilderness. So, it is becoming increasingly difficult to come across wild flowers . I could take shots of some wild flowers blooming in the edge of the forest in Coorg. I don't know their names.
This yellow Ipomia had entwined itself round a hibiscus plant .

There were more wild flowers at the edges of the coffee plantations, but my camera was acting up.

  1. Wild flowers have their own beauty Lotusleaf. But now Ive seen here,wild flowers have become coveted houseplants with new hybrids, thanks to the overzealous nurseries to showcase new plants every now and then. Yours are quite interesting looking, havent seen them before.

  3. I love wildflowers too. Some of the prettiest blooms can be seen in the jungles during this season. That yellow morning glory is an aggressive one. Once I got it from the jungle and planted it near my palm trees. My palms were nearly strangled! Glad to see what grows in the Coorg region.

  5. Most flowers were once wild until man chose the ones he wanted to cultivate. I find the vines the most troublesome, if only they would grow where we want them to.

  9. I've always been fascinated by wildflowers too, and have been sharing them also here. That Ipomoea species has a lovely vine color, we have other colors of those as well.
