Flowers - 2

Was in Surathkal this weekend. Had an eventful vacation and lots to share. One of the things I did at home was capturing pictures of some more flowers blooming around my house added to my previous post on Flowers.

As before, I am not sure of English names for some of them. So please help me name some of these.

Ixora coccinea, (Jungle Geranium, Flame of the Woods and Jungle Flame) ....Kiskara or Kepalla in Kannada







Plumeria (Frangipani...Champa Flower in Hindi) ....Go Sampige in Kannada




Rosaceae (Rose)...Gulabi in Kannada



Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar Periwinkle).....Sadha Pushpa in Kannada


Thevetia peruviana (Mexican oleander).... Karaveera in Kannada




Kopsia fruticosa (Shrub Vinca)... Nandi Batalu in Kannada


Clitoria Ternata (Butterfly pea)...Shanka Pushpa in Kannada



Mussaenda erythophylla (Pink Mussaenda)

  4. So lucky that you are able to live in a house. Most of us have to be content living in flats.
    Lovely compilation of flowers.
    The blue flower is a morning glory and the last one is a Mazanta in English too.

    Thank you for giving the kannada name for Thevetia Peruviana. i have found one such shrub near my house and have written to Horticulture dept to preserve it and give it its botanical identity by erecting a fence aroudn it. While searchign for its kannada name on Google the first link was your blog

    GREAT WORK KEEP IT UP.
