Dood’s viewpoint from a different point of view
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 6th Jun’08It looks like a bouquet, small violet flowers tied together in a bunch. Just before blooming, they are green in color, before attaining this vibrant hue within a couple of weeks. The flower is odorless but that doesn’t make it any less attractive.

The author illustrates how you can descend into a different world just by staring at the heart of the rose. I never tried to follow it seriously but it definitely seemed to work when I tried to do it for 5 minutes one find day
As for the picture, I took it in a local park. This fully blossomed rose was standing out in the herd of many others standing around it.

These bright yellow flowers were planted at one corner of the road under the shadow of a big tree. “Nothing grows under shade” they say, bit just have look, what a beautiful thing has come up under the shade of that huge tree.

They are very elegantly shaped and have a very eye catching color combination of white and yellow. They have a light coating of wax like material on them and look magnificent when covered with fresh morning dew.
The only question in my mind regarding these flowers is, what is their name? Does anyone know?
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 25th Apr’08This flower looking structure which you see in the picture is not actually a flower, but a skeleton of the same. The actual flower is bright red in color with long broad petals. When the plant dies and the pollen is taken away by birds and insects this is what remains of a thing which once a beautiful blooming flower.
Though being dry and being a skeletal remain of an elegant flower, this dry stub is not any less eye catching. Unless you have seen the original flower and unless you know that this is a dried remain, you will definitely mistake it for some dry variety of a fresh counterpart.

Large spreads of dry barren land with no signs of greenery or habitation at all. This is where you can find a huge variety of plants which survive in extreme dryness. This was one such shrub which had plenty of tiny dry flowers. Though it was hard to focus on them in the hot blazing sun, I got this pretty satisfactory shot of some of those miniature flowers.
Originally clicked and uploaded by – Pratosh Dwivedi – 20th Apr’08You can find at least 10 different varieties of Cactus in Mexico. Cactus is used for various different purposes, ranging from sewing & textiles to being extensively used for cooking. The shapes and sizes of the cacti found here vary from small ones, which are hardly 10 inches long to almost tree-sized cacti.
This is the season of bloom for most of the cactus plants & these are the flowers which grow among a dense mesh of thorns.

The day I shot “the colorful bloom” I was thinking of somehow putting up here, how exactly the ground looks, covered with those tiny little flowers. The sight is so mesmerizing that you dont feel like walking over them. But since you dont have any other choice, you have to walk over this sheet of flowers and hear them crack under your feet.

Though it’s not the same tree as in the other post, but this is exactly what I wanted to post.
I will suggest you to the see the full image to get the real idea.
