Nirupa: often cultivated in tropical gardens for its foliage, the unusual flowers are a boon.
Its the matchstick flower... wish pic was not so hazy of the flower spike. binomial: Aechmea gamosepala of Bromeliaceae Family I know sometimes it cant be helped but have hazy pics esp if using a handheld point and shoot or a cell phone and there is breeze or if I am in a hurry (in a forest or on a hike, trying to stay with the group) ..., but in this case it was a captive subject, growing in a tub. I find if I am using a point and shoot, moving my own hands a bit back and forth may get the subject in focus. Hope it helps. usha di On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 4:35 PM, Nirupa <nir...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I would like some help identifying a potted plant that I spotted in Ooty. > > Date/Time- Aug 2014 > > Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Ooty, 2200m asl > > Habitat- Garden / urban > > Plant Habit- Not sure > > Height/Length- Leave 1 foot, stem and flowers 1-2 ft > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "efloraofindia" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to indiantreepix+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to indiantreepix@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Usha di =========== -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
