Canna indica (family: Cannaceae) :: Hooghly, WB: Species : Canna indica (family: Cannaceae) Bengali name : KALA-PHOOL / KALABATI / SARBAJAYA Date : 01-March-2012 @ 10.34 a.m. & 21-Dec-2009 @ 11.11 a.m. (with sunbird) Place : Hooghly (West Bengal) Habitat : Ornamental, wild Purple sunbird add more price to the flowers of C.indica in terms of pollination services As for the purple sunbird it was taken in 2009 and i was more drawn to birds-butterflies-dragonflies in those days. I was very much afraid of our flora world because of my ignorance. It is not that i know something about fauna but they are moving type!
Flower ID Request 20111026: I grabbed this pic of this flower today at IIT Bombay, Mumbai. Please let me know what it could be. The plant was about six feet in height and the flowers were at the top of the plant. I am also attaching crops of the stalk and the leaves. The plant was growing on the edge of Powai Lake. The leaves were quite large, about two feet in length. The stalk was slender and quite long, and made up most of the height of the plant.
