Worth a thousand words

They say, a picture is worth a thousand words! So, how about putting up a beautiful picture for a blogpost? These pictures were, as usual, captured in my terrace garden. Somehow, I am still a bit confused over the name of the plant, since, as far as I knew what was sown was a turmeric tuber, but what bloomed didn't appear to be a turmeric bloom. Infact, I was pointed in the right direction by a friend on the IndiBlogger forum. What he pointed out seems to be somewhat a correct reference to this plant, going by the flower that bloomed on it, and after ruling out the possibility that the bloom didn't look like turmeric bloom at all.

Anyhow, whatever it is, it's beautiful, it's red, and it is a visual treat for my eyes, and yes, my camera as well. So, I thought, I'd share it with you guys too. And, just in case you were wondering, I believe this bloom to be of an arrowroot plant.

Beautiful red flowers. Probably of Arrowroot.

I will be back in the next post, with the year old mango plant which, has got a bunch of new leaves, and is now really looking like a healthy plant.. Till then, HAPPY GARDENING!
