[efloraofindia:77474] Re: hi Elaeocarpus sphaericus. Rudraksha flowers RARE Photos
NOW, Dear USHA PRABHA JI: I have always admired the blue berries of Elaeocarpus sphaericus because of its sometimes shiny, sometimes iridescent blue coat ( esp in digital photos) is very peaceful and delightful. and Rudraksha beads are such an important part of our collective religious heritage...I have wondered about the flowers.. Never seen them... let alone photograph them Thank you for showing these... Once at a herbal garden local gardeners showed us some plant with white flowers and said it was Rudraksha tree, but later when the botanists came.. it turned out to be a sea-coast salt resistant something... I do not recall the name... that was almost 15 years ago... I can still see the flowers and leaves clearly in my head but cant remember the name... Thanks again.

I would appreciate if you can share more information such as which hill station (place) the habit of the plant and so on. It would be better if you can follow the format of our group to upload pictures with Id request. Few suggestions, please try avoid back light when you take close up shots and please try adjust your white balance (you can find the same in the menu of your camera) so that you get the exact color of the flower.

Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected medicinal and aromatic crops. Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected vegetable crops. Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected forest tree species. Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected medicinal herbs growing as weeds in surroundings. Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected forest herbs. Some less known Traditional Medicinal Uses of medicinal herb Rudraksh (Elaeocarpus sphaericus, family Elaeocarpaceae). III. Use in Pest Management. Positive and negative effects of Rudraksh plant parts alone and in combination with other herbs on selected Ornamentals. Rudraksh based Traditional herbal combinations and its use in different stages of Sickle Cell Anaemia in Indian state Chhattisgarh. Traditional medicinal knowledge about medicinal herbs used with Rudraksh in different forms in shock treatment by the Traditional Healers of Indian state Chhattisgarh.

Re: [efloraofindia:77592] VALMIKI : OBSERVER OF NATURE 39
Respected Bimalji, I had a big Parijatak tree (1st flower) at my mothers home giving lots of flowers. Esp in Shravan many people used to come to gather these flowers to offer to God for what is called 'Lakholi' meaning offering One Lakh flowers. It used to give me great pleasure to shake this tree to drop flowers and collect them in inverted umbrellas for these people. Thanks for sharing this story behind this lovely flower which I did not know. There is also a mythological story about Parijatak which I would like to share During samudra manthan (churning of the ocean), the gods had obtained Parijataka, the tree with divine fragrance. This tree was planted in the garden of Indra, the king of gods. One day, SageNarada went to this garden and collected some flowers that had fallen from the treeand gave them to Rukmini, Krishna's wife. Rukmini was very happy but when Satyabhama, another wife of Krishna, smelled its fragrance, she asked Krishna to bring her the tree. After defeating Indra, Krishna brought the tree on earth. But a quarrel started between Rukmini and Satyabhama, as both of them wanted the tree. Krishna planted the tree in Satyabhama's courtyard in such a way that its flowers fell in Rukmini's house and in this way both his wives were happy.
