When I googled Brahmakamalam, the equivalent name Saussurea obvallata came up.
But you have mentioned a different name. Are they one and the same?

Not sure of it Usha.

Dear Nandu,

Thanks for coming with your beautiful fb.

Is it known as Night queen?
I thought "Raat ka rani " flower was night queen.

Thanx dear Devika for stepping in. Glad to note you enjoyed those blooms. Yeah, I also came to know that it is quite auspicious.

Wow Brahmakamal is also called so? This is informative indeed.Infact its considered very lucky to have Brahmakamal flowers. Very nice Lalitha.Enjoyed seeing it!

Love,
Devika

Dear Krithika,

Yes this is the same flower given by Manju also. Thanks for your lovely fb and happy to note that you enjoyed the same.

So, is it the same flower as shared by Manju? Does this bloom once a year?

Looks like it needs to be preserved..if it is rare to give so many flowers...

Thanks for sharing..surely a treat for the eyes !

Cheers
Krithika

Dear Meeta,

Thanks for sharing such beautiful pics.
Regards.

Dear Brindha,

Thanks for coming and enjoying dear. It is really a beauty towatch them. When it had bloomed I had to act like a security guard to the plant because all passerby were taking photos and some were trying to pluck them too. But the effort was worth it.
