Kas week : Nilgirianthus reticulatus SMP:
Nilgirianthus reticulatus
Another Karvi plant observed on Kas Plateau. Aug Sep.

How many are called Karvi? …
next time the 12 year streobilanthus comes around I ‘ll be very old… so sorry I miissed it last time around…
but these last few weeks it seems many called stobilanthus have been shown here…
am wondering it there is paper that shows the differen Karvi or strobilanthus…?
you would know if there was any


Strobilanthes kunthiana (called as Neel-Kurinji) is reported to be flowering once in 12 years. Munnar is probably the best place to watch. Last mass flowering was in the year 2006 and next one will be in the yr 2018.
I think Karvi (Strobilanthes callosus) flowers once in 7 years.

Is it mass flowering or will it take place next year ?

You must have read the post by …
It was flowering on one section of hill totally covered with it when he observed it.
The blooms were nearly over after 7 days when I could go there.. Still it was seen patchily in some sections.
I think it may flower in another section in October (Usual season) when I had seen it flowering in a vast area in Oct. 2006. Attaching an earlier picture of 2006.
