One Word Sunday: Muse

My muse, contentedly musing on life as a dog. More interpretation at One Word Sunday Challenge.

Greater Crimson Glider

Urothemis signata, the greater crimson glider, is widespread in many Asian countries. This species breeds in ponds and slow flowing rivers, typically in lowland areas. This particular one, a female, was perched on the mango tree next-door.

Flower of the Day: Aloe vera

My Aloe plant is putting out blooms. I found out that only mature plants of at least four years of age bloom and I have had the plant for exactly four years! Here’s something else that’s interesting about them: Medicinal aloe bears small tubular yellow flowers on branched stalks up to 3 ft tall. The real Aloe vera has yellow flowers, but many of the clones available have orange flowers.

Carambola

Carambola, or starfruit, being sold outside the AJC Bose Botanical garden at Kolkata. This sweet and tart flavored delicious tropical fruit is apparently very rich in vitamin-C.
