Well Nudrat ji its a real beauty seen. How could you get the photo from top? Because the trees I have seen are quite tall.
Ushadi they are the cones of Cedrus.
I will like to know sirji whether the male and female cones are seperate or same? In Cedrus? If seperate how do they look?

Ushadi

Please elaborate your joke on this. Deodar as important a timber plant in Himalayas, as Teak in plains.

Madhuri ji

The photograph from the top can be taken if you are standing higher on the slope and taking photograph of a branch  of a tree growing lower than you. Yes male and female cones are separate, male are much smaller rarely more than 5 cm long and less than 1 cm in breadth. They fall off soon after pollination. The female cones are much longer, woody and stay on the tree for a long time.

So these are the cones which they paint with diff colours for decoration?
Beautiful intricate arrangement. Is any further close up available? Are the ovules in each bract like structure?

Madhuri ji: thanks but the question was meant for someone else,
outside of eflora.... mistakenly went to eflora...
Gurucharanji: sorry, it was a conversation with someone else... that
some how got mixed up and got sent it in not realizing it went to
eflora... I have removed my message, so that this thread is not
messed up...


These cones I know as Cedar of Lebanon, though I understand the three
cedars... of Lebanon, of the Himalayas and of altas/morocco have very
similar anatomy... though their outlines may be different...

I would never joke about Debdaru... its an important medicinal wood...
for making Kwath and for its oil distillation...
