I think it's the state tree of the Bahamas as well.<br /><br />About your Asclepius asperula questions at Hill Country Mysteries, the umbel (thank you for that, I didn't know the word until you put it in your comment)is 3 - 4 inches across. The leaves grow parallel to the ground, just an inch or two above the soil. The umbel stalk rises about 4 inches above the ground. The plant seems to grow best with benign neglect in disturbed areas.Kathleen Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868566314392048880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-88410693507106802142010-06-04T08:52:17.517+08:002010-06-04T08:52:17.517+08:00Beautiful and fiery blossoms.

A story goes that when a whole lot of these trees were in bloom, the evening sun shone on them in such a way that the king thought the forest was on fire. Hence its name 'Flame of the Forest'. It is also called Mayflower here, though it blooms fully only in June. Gul mohur is the local name.RAJI MUTHUKRISHNANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767924355822361427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-6716210904661585212010-06-04T07:39:59.867+08:002010-06-04T07:39:59.867+08:00Gasp!
