Flowers of Yercaud Botanical Garden Tamil Nadu

Flowers have a language of their own and those who love flowers know this! You have one for every sentiment of yours and one for every occasion: love, humility, truth, longing, peace, memories and even retirement! I found their silent eloquence is unbeatable in Yercaud Botanical Garden.

Flowers of Yercaud Botanical Garden

When we halted the Horticultural research center at Yercaud, we didn’t have the slightest inkling of the huge collection of plants and flowers we would find there. I had my Canon PowerShot A540, 6.0 Mega Pixels and 4x Optical Zoom. I used SCN Foliage shooting mode for most of the clicks and I got some memorable pictures. Here they are…

Early Blue Violets

Small wild flowers, they grow very low to the ground in grasslands and open slopes.

Red Bottle Brush Flowers

Scientific name is Callistemon. Next time I intend to take a closer shot of a similar flower. The inner arrangement of the flower is inviting!

Fire Sparks

White Daisy

Asclepias tuberosa – Butterfly Milkweed

Lovely orange colored flowers looking like little dancing girls.

Orange Dancing Fairies

Arum Lily – Calla Lily

This single flower caught my attention. I experimented by focusing deep in to the flower….
