Hi Shubhada,    It looks more like Fluffy Cat Ears [Cyanotis fasciculata]. Please check.                         Regards,                           Neil. --- On Fri, 8/14/09, shubhada nikharge <shubhada...@yahoo.co.in> wrote:

I liked the close up Shubhada.
Too good, translusant, with beautifully arranged stamens and the translusant stigma, with so many hair.
wow its a treat to eyes.
even with magnifying lense w emay not be able to see the details that clear..
thanx for sharing
Madhuri

Hello Shubhada ji
your first pic is not of Cyanotis cristata, it is Tonningia axillaris,
where the series of bracts surrounding the flower are absent.

Tonningia axillaris (L.).O. Ktze. Rev. Gen. Pl. 2: 721, 1891; Sharma
et al, Fl. Mah. St. Monocot. 182, 1996; Pradhan et al, Fl. SGNP. 619,
2005.
Synonyms: Commelina axillaris L. Sp. Pl. 42, 1753. Cyanotis axillaris
(L.) D. Don, Prodr. Fl. Nepal 45, 1825; Cooke, Fl. Pres. Bombay 3:
305, 1958 (Repr.). Amischophacelus axillaris (L.) Rolla Rao & Kammathy
in Notes Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinb. 59: 306, 1966.

the next two pic can be of Cyanotis cristata, though i am not very
sure abt it.
