Beautiful flowers by the roadside – so happy and cheerful | White Alder<\/a>: <\/span><\/div>\n

I WANDER’D lonely as a cloud
\u00a0That floats on high o’er \u00a0vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
\u00a0 \u00a0 A host, of \u00a0golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and \u00a0dancing in the breeze.<\/font> <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thus exclaimed the remarkable poet Wordsworth in his ode to the daffodils. We also had a similar experience when on our way to \u00a0Mahabalipuram. We zipped along enjoying the countryside when suddenly we noticed \u00a0these beautiful flowers by the roadside. Lying there, they seemed so happy and \u00a0cheerful that we could not ignore them. So we reversed and came to the spot \u00a0where they lay. Whipping out the camera, we proceeded to photograph them. And \u00a0here they are for your viewing

–\u00a0Turnera subulata<\/i>, naturalised undershrub originating from south America.<\/font> <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
– What I found interesting on a nature walk ( at the Officers’ Training Academy, Chennai) \u00a0was the fact that the flowers were closed at dawn, opened later in the sun and were closed when it became cloudy again.<\/font> <\/font>Sun-loving \u00a0White Alder<\/b>. <\/p>\n
\n

– This is a common weed in Chennai<\/font>. \u00a0 The whole play ground in Adyar used to be get covered whenever it rained. \u00a0No season for its flowering. Comes up very easily in cleared areas.<\/font>
