Growing wild in semi urban area near Chennai, photo ca 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------Plant exploration walks wherever possible are my top choice of leisure activity.
This photo re-captures for me the excitement of finding an unknown species, and the pleasurable hours looking through journals, illustrations, keys, in an attempt to identify.
Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes not.
But I was always confident of getting final verification from active and ever helpful eflora group.Congratulations to all eflora mentors and members.
Jai Bharat, Jai eflora of India
Best wishes
