This Acasia has small round yellow flowers which are perfumed.
The plant is full of thorns, but liked by birds and butterflies.
Asystasia gangetica flowers profusely in the sun.
This is another yellow wild flower.
The double Shankhapushpi, Butterfly Pea has medicinal value. It is useful to enhance memory power, and to increase resistance to disease.
Lovely photos Lotusleaf. i only have the single Shankhapushpi. Among Bengalis its a very sacred flower used for pujas.

Lovely blooms! There's a whole lot of yellow flowers blooming in the wild here too. I have that Aparajita...isn't that blue gorgeous?!
ReplyDeleteI love the fluffy yellow Acasia flower. The butterfly pea is another very pretty one I've seen on blogs from other gardeners in your area. I don't think any wildflowers are blooming here now.
ReplyDeleteManisha, even the single butterfly pea is pretty, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteAntigonum, thanks for visiting my blog.
Maria Cecilia, you must be having different kinds of wild flowers there. I'd love to see some wild flowers of Chile.
Kanak, I believe you can make edible dye from it, though I have not tried it.
Catherine, I love the wild flowers in your area.
