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.

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.

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 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.
