Best flora picture: 1 image.

Here attached is the best flora picture of mine.

Thanks a lot, Giby ji, for the wonderful image and a new addition.

Beautiful picture…thanks for sharing Giby Ji!!

amazing

Wow, wonderful picture, Giby ji !!!

Beautiful picture!

Are you saying you found this plant in wild in Kerala? Because I am not sure if it is known from Deccan part of India.
The image used in Orchids of Kerala is surely a cultivated plant.
And, a very nice picture!!

Yes it is from wild and I found it in different places deep inside forests in several places.
There is no chance of this being an escape from the garden as the locations I found were very far from habitation and so far, I haven’t found any nurseries or home gardens.
However, I have a plant at my home, collected from natural habitat. Collected when there was no flower and I wanted to see flowering to confirm the species. Then I located the same at various places since 1998.
