Flowers of Nagalinga Tree (Cannonball tree/sal Tree). Couroupita sp. Fruits are woody. Flowers are seen on long branch-like structures. There were many bees around the flower. Flowers had a very strong smell. Photo taken at 10am, Malabar Botanical Garden, Kozhikode @Sneha Maurya @Vijaya Ma’am Tilak Cube
And this was another interesting plant I observed in the garden. It is growing on another tree. It is an epiphyte. Its striking feature is, leaves have dark pink tips. Hence it is commonly called a “painted fingernail plant”!!! I’m seeing this plant for the first time:heart_eyes:
I checked in Google, found the id as: Neoregelia spectabilis. I think this pink colour at the tip would attract the pollinators! And also on plants growing in some shady areas, the colour is not this intense. So more sunlight----> more pink
Beautiful and bright flowers of Sausage Tree (Kigelia africana), a species native to tropical Africa. It is named “sausage” tree because of its large, woody sausage shaped fruits! Photo taken at 10am, Malabar Botanical Garden, Kozhikode
