Roses

This is another of my favourite pictures. They say 'a Rose by any other name is a rose is a rose is a ....', but I don't think it would sound as beautiful. This particular flower had such delicate colours, it was looking a bit ethereal. For those who love flowers, I have a big collection of pitures in my orkut under the name venugopalan cheriyaveettil.

There is a beautiful site on Indian Flowers at http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/alphabet.html which any Indian can be proud of for its quality and comprehensiveness. It is the result of great effort by Dr.Tabish and Thingnam Girija. Another site dealing with flowers is flowers.org wherein some of my pictures are published.
