'Fruits of Glory'

[Neil Soares]

Hi,    Was at my farm at Shahapur today with my friend Jayesh Timbadia.  Photographed dehisced capsules of Glory Lily [Gloriosa superba] which had escaped frugivorous birds as they were hidden in a thicket.    Sending a few photographs.                           With regards,                             Neil Soares.

First time I too am seeing the seeds. I saw the flowers growing in the forests of Ghodbunder in the early 1950s and have seen planty in Tamil Nadu ( after all it is our State Flower) but have not noted the fruit or seeds.

Thanks,

Padmini Raghavan.

Those who are in Chennai may see plenty of these plants with flowers
and fruits along the coastline scrub jungle (Mahabalipuram road). I
have seen many times.

Yes this plant is abundant in TN and now it entered cultivation for the medicinal and export value of its tubers, fruits, seeds.
