Flora picture of the Year 2010 commelina from UK VOF

[Geeta Rane]

Greetings,

 this photo of mine a flora picture of  the year2010 has nothing to do with photography of flower  but it is more related to the sigihting of commelina in Uttarakhand.

When I began my nature trails with BNHS, this was the first flower which made me very curious  because of its beauty and excelleent photgraphy being tiny; there was an insertion in one of the calendar of BNHS, I don't remember the year, this is only for your information please.

then after Many a time I saw this flower  but was most delighted when I saw it at Uttarankhand In August, 2010 during trek to Valley of Flowers with my trekmates;

 

This one is taken during my return journey from Ghangaria to Govindghat on 24th August, 2010.

 

Would appreciate the ID,

 

Thanks,

With Regards,

geeta rane

Hello to all

May be you are right Manudev ji. This is very near to Commelina paludosa but I don't why it look likes Commelina kurzii for me. Only capsule and seed morphology can provide us proper identity of this species. 

Thank you
