      Thanks for showing these wonderful flowers from a small family Hydrophyllaceae<\/i> considered as sub family of Boraginaceae<\/i>. In fact I think only this lone member has been reported from this family in Maharashtra. Found in aquatic or semiaquatic regions in Konkan and other places in rice fields and near margins of tanks.<\/span> 5 Bright blue coloured petals with filaments of same colour and strikingly white anthers stand out prominently.<\/span><\/p>\n

      highly appreciable pics\u00a0…\u00a0\u00a0and good additional informations by … .. To add to the much fascinating characters of this plant.. there are two styles diverging out in two directions.. and the stigma being bright red- the whole style & stigma together resemble the antennae of an imaginary aliens..<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n<\/span>The mobile phone revolution is perpetual. It has made many a things redundant. Be it a pen, paper, calender, diary, radio, music-video player, computer, torch, map, GPS or a watch. Many more will submit themselves in the new year.<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n
      Last few years I wondered at the junk of my film cameras, now I am afraid my mobile phone has made my DSLR cameras redundant too. As a prejudice I struck rare plants only when I did not or forgot to carry my cameras. Now I forget them by default because my inseparable mobile phone always clings to my heart from my pocket. Now when I get something exciting I am not disappointed or I do not rush home to get the camera.<\/div>\n
      These are tiny flowers of Hydrolea<\/i> 7 mm size<\/span>, shot hand held in full frame and unedited though the phone offers all instant tools to edit.

      Beautiful picture, …! Agreeing with you about the versatility of smartphones. They may also soon (if not already) make libraries and herbaria things of past.<\/p>\n

      Thanks … Last year when I was thinking of choosing my next smartphone, I finally chose Sony xperia z1 primarily for its 20.3 MP camera, and I am happy that it enables me to capture images and video at social functions, I even take most of pictures of plants with this smartphone. Really great innovation, you have not to be specially equipped to click a photo, your mobile is always with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \nso,\u00a0… will we see these cell phone pics in your next book?
      \nhow would they translate to printing?
      \nwould love to know if your printer\/publisher has any say in this so far…<\/p>\n


      \n

      Yes …, Mobile is really coming very handy.. Nice photograph, good clarity..<\/p>\n


      \n

      Agreed … The cellphone camera are already giving good results; add-on miniature gadgets for macro, zoom have also arrived. And yet better results would be shown with newer technologies !! Nice clear picture.<\/p>\n
