Flower from Sharmila’s garden – 2
I do not know the name of this flower – or for that matter most of the flowers in Sharmila’s garden. Need to ask Sharmila about it. But I love the unique color. Look at the distinctive pattern in one one or two petals. Reminds me of the gulmohar tree we had in our elementary school in Durgapur and how one petal used to be a variegated one while the rest were plain red.

Flower from Sharmila’s garden – 1
Sharmila could not remember the name of the flower immediately. But these are seasonal ones. The come right in the beginning of fall and withering away soon. The first thing that it reminds me of is the wood carvings that used to come out of the pencil sharpener in India (there was no mechanical pencil then).
The iPhone does a great job with macro photos. You can see the single pollen drops off the pistil.
