efloraofindia:”For Id 12092011MR1’’ ?kardali Pune: Is this some variant of Kardali in Marathi ? I do not know its english name
Some Canna from Cannaceae……the colored ‘petals’ are actually one lobe of anther the other lobe acts its natural role…. is this canna lily? Yes …, most likely C. indica Canna is one of the most extensively hybridized taxa. Hope detail investigations done before confirmation of the species. Looks Like Canna indica I too think that this would be C. indica. Canna indica nice photograph

Pune Garden Herb Yes Sir this plant have many colorful varities
Canna indica (family: Cannaceae) :: Hooghly, WB: Attaching images of *Canna indica*, a common monocot plant seen as ornamental as well as in the wild. I do not know the specific varieties of this herb. But a search in the net tells me that it is *Canna indica var. indica*. This plant is often visited by purple sunbird for its nectar. 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! I think our education system needs total overhaul. There is very little scope of getting acquainted with even one’s own surroundings, e.g. i read a lot about potato but i do not know how the plant looks like or where upon it potato grows!
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.
